Highlights of the evening include:
- Screenings of three short, kid-friendly films.

- Pizza, popcorn and snack breaks.
Advance registration is encouraged, as space is limited.
Additional Kids Night Out events are scheduled for June 26 and July 24.
Each event is themed to ensure returning participants enjoy a fresh, memorable experience.
“This program isn’t just fun,” Producing Director Jess Glass said, “it helps kids build social confidence and gives parents a night off. It’s a win-win for families.”
