## About

The final free outdoor film of Downtown Cary Park's 2026 Movie Night Series is Minions (PG), the prequel to Despicable Me, shown on the Great Lawn Pavilion screen and curated by The Cary Theater. Bring cushions, blankets and chairs; seating is first-come, first-served, lawn setup begins at 5 pm (not earlier), and some areas are blanket-only. Food trucks are on site. Sensory kits are available at the orange Guest Services flag, and assisted listening works through a smartphone. A cheerful pick for preschoolers through tweens.
