The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department will host the second in a series of Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park this Saturday, June 17, at 8:30 p.m. The featured film will be “Encanto.”

In addition, the following food and dessert trucks will be onsite: Mamma Churros, Cilantro Mexican Cuisine, Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ, and Lumpy’s Ice Cream.

Free and open to the public, Family Movie Nights feature 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. Each will also include a movie-related pre-show activity for kids beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket and/or chairs but are reminded that alcohol, smoking, and unleashed pets are prohibited.

Future film screenings are scheduled on Saturday, July 22 (Zootopia), and Saturday, Aug. 5 (Spider Man: No Way Home). Showtime is 8:30 p.m. Anyone planning to attend is urged to arrive early as viewing space may be limited.

In the event of rain, Family Movie Night may be canceled. Updates will be posted on the Town website, Nextdoor site, and Facebook page. Smart phone users who have downloaded the Town of Wake Forest app will also receive a push notification message concerning any schedule changes.
