Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and Prospera Credit Union invite the entire family outdoors for the third annual Cinema Under the Stars.

Similar to past years, there will be a large screen set up at Willoughby Park with fun activities for kids.

This year they will present two movie nights instead of one.

On July 15 they will be playing Rio, an animated film about Blu, a macaw from Minnesota and his wild adventure to Rio de Janeiro.

Then on Aug. 27 there will be a screening of Mars Needs Moms, another animated film about a boy who’s mother is taken to Mars by Martians.

Arts and crafts will be set up for children to enjoy, prior to the film starting. There will also be free popcorn, and a paid concession open in the Langley Events Centre.

“It’s a fun, great community event,” said Mary Reeves, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley.

“It’s so difficult to find a good, clean wholesome event for families. And it’s affordable, too.”

Township of Langley firefighters will once again be on site, collecting donations for BBBS Langley.

“We are very pleased the firefighters will be there again this year,” said Reeves. “They are always such a help.”

Plan to head down early with a blanket or a lawn chair to stake out a spot. In the past well over 1,000 people have turned out for the event.

“They’ve been a blast in the past,” said Reeves. “Many people bring a picnic super and make a great evening out of it.”

Both movie nights will be held at Willoughby Park at the Langley Events Centre, 7888 200 St., with screenings beginning at dusk. Admission is by donation.
