Each night will include special activations for the public to enjoy, including live music, face painting, trivia and an all-ages PlayZone.
Other entertainment highlights include a surprise activation by M&MS and NZR Productions before Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a Pride Night celebration hosted by Public Disco and featuring an ABBA-themed drag show before Mama Mia!, and a cosplay contest and games before Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Food trucks and treat vendors will be on-site during each screening. And some seating is available in šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square, but it’s on a first-come, first-serve basis. Guests are encouraged to bring their own seating and blankets.
