Make sure to arrive early to get the best seat on the lawn, enjoy tons of food trucks and fun activities (6:30-8:30) before the movie begins at dusk.

Also, mark your calendars for two more Flix nights:

These iconic movies are definitely for both kids and parents to enjoy.  A movie night under the stars?  SAY LESS... but wait, there's more!
