Cinema Under the Stars back for 17th season at Westport Park

PORT MACQUARIE residents are invited to pack their picnic blankets and enjoy a free family night under the stars on Friday 28 November.

Now in its 17th season, the outdoor event at Westport Park.will feature the Oscar-nominated animated film The Wild Robot (PG, 2024).

Newcastle Permanent Regional Manager Adam Power said the community could look forward to a full evening of entertainment before the movie begins at sundown.

“As a customer-owned organisation we are incredibly proud to give back to our communities and see the return of our Cinema Under the Stars events, which have become a staple within our regional NSW communities for more than 15 years,” Mr Power said.

“This year’s event will be action-packed with delicious food, local music, fun and activities, before we settle in to enjoy a family-favourite movie.

“The adventures of Roz the robot and her quest to survive and build friendships in The Wild Robot is set to spark your emotions and warm your heart.

“[It] is the perfect opportunity for the whole family to come together and recharge their batteries under the stars.”

Live entertainment will begin at 5:30pm, with the film commencing at sundown.

Families are encouraged to bring chairs, rugs, and a sense of fun to the alcohol-free event.
