Movies Under the Stars will kick off with The Croods: A New Age on July 1, which will be followed up by Onward on July 6. Back to the Future is scheduled for the July 16 show.

Raya and the Last Dragon will take to the screen on July 20. The final film of the season has yet to be announced but will be presented in part by the Reelworld Film Festival.

Guests must remain in their vehicles throughout the duration of the film unless they are using the washroom or buying snacks.
