A free outdoor Movies in the Park series is set to resume on Friday with a screening of Disney’s animated film Lilo & Stitch.
A community film series is set to resume on Friday evening with a free outdoor screening of Disney’s animated feature Lilo & Stitch. The Movies in the Park program invites families and neighbors to gather under the open sky for a casual night of entertainment, continuing a tradition that has become a staple of summer activities in the area.
A Family-Friendly Return
Organizers confirmed that the series will kick off its latest run with the 2002 Disney film, a tropical-set story about an unconventional friendship between a young Hawaiian girl and an alien creature known as Experiment 626. The screening is designed to appeal to multi-generational audiences, combining nostalgic appeal for adults with vibrant animation for younger viewers.
Event Details and Atmosphere
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic supplies to settle in for the evening. The relaxed setting is part of what has helped the program grow in popularity, transforming a local park into a temporary open-air cinema. Local families often treat the event as a social gathering as much as a movie night, with children playing on the grass before the film begins.

- The screening begins on Friday at the scheduled showtime in the host park.
- Admission is free and open to the public.
