It’s the 2000’s film that YOU voted for most during January’s Summer Blockbuster Battle! Enjoy a screening of Shrek (PG), curated by The Cary Theater.

A grumpy ogre named Shrek embarks on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a dragon, in exchange for the deed to his swamp from the scheming Lord Farquaad. Accompanied by the hilarious Donkey, Shrek discovers that Fiona is hiding a surprising secret. Along the way, Shrek and friends learn about self-acceptance and finding beauty in unexpected places.  

Come early to enjoy pre-screening activities for all ages, making it a perfect night out for everyone. Get creative with Shrek themed arts and crafts at the Nest Pavilion! Prescreening activities are from 6 – 8 p.m. The film will begin at sunset, approximately 8:30 p.m.

Grab your cushions, blankets, and chairs for ultimate comfort as you settle in to enjoy the film. Food trucks will also be on site.
