The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department will offer the final “Family Movie Night at Joyner Park” of the season on Saturday, Aug. 13, at 8:30 p.m. E. Carroll Joyner Park is located at 701 Harris Road.
Sponsored by Traditions at Wake Forest, Mosquito Joe of Eastern Wake County, and Primrose School of Heritage Wake Forest, the free, monthly outdoor movie series features a variety of family-friendly film favorites and genres, including comedies, dramas, and thrillers, all projected on a 26-foot inflatable movie screen in the park’s amphitheater. The event also includes on-site food vendors selling snacks and refreshments.
Each Family Movie Night at Joyner Park is free and open to the public. Anyone planning to attend is urged to arrive early as viewing space may be limited. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket and/or chairs but are reminded that alcohol, smoking, and unleashed pets are prohibited.
Due to the terms and conditions outlined in its agreement with the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation, the PRCR Department is not permitted to publicize the title of each month’s film. However, here’s a hint about the Aug. 13 movie: it’s a 2015 American horror comedy film based on the children’s book series of the same name. It’s also the term applied to a reaction of the skin because of cold, fear, or excitement.
To obtain the title of the Aug. 13 movie, sign up for The Week Ahead via E-Notifier at www.wakeforestnc.gov/enotifier.aspx, download the town’s app, or call 919-556-7063.
In the event of rain, Family Movie Night will be moved inside the Alston-Massenburg Center at 416 North Taylor Street. Updates will be provided on the town’s website and Facebook page and by calling the Wake Forest Weather Line at 919-435-9569. Smart phone users who have downloaded the Town of Wake Forest app will receive a push notification informing them of any schedule changes.
