Get your friends and family together for a night of entertainment under the stars, with the next free family movie to be screened at Jack Evans Boat Harbour on Friday 14 April.
Part of the NSW Government’s Places to Love initiative, the event will see the smash hit movie Minions – Rise of Gru screened from 7.30 pm on the lawn beside the popular new playground, Livvi’s Place at Goorimahbah - Place of Stories.
Released in 2022, the PG-rated movie is suitable for people of all ages and is the sequel to the original animated film Minions (2015).
Rug up and bring your picnic blankets, chairs, snacks and drinks or come early and enjoy street food and live music at the Tweed Night Markets, on from 5pm – 8pm, or visit a local restaurant for dinner beforehand.
Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry, who attended the last Twilight Movie with her family in February, said it had been fantastic to see the community came together and enjoy the open space in a relaxed atmosphere.
“We are thrilled to be bringing another movie screening to Jack Evans Boat Harbour especially when our first planned movie night in January was called off at the last minute due to stormy weather conditions,” Cr Cherry said.
“The Places to Love initiative has a vision to provide an inclusive public place that connects people to open spaces. We want people to feel welcome not only during the day but also at night.”
As part of the Places to Love initiative, Council is also working to activate the area during the day, with the temporary coffee kiosk, Little Nova. Surrounded by pre-loved furniture from Council’s tip shop The JUNKtion, visitors to the kiosk can enjoy a coffee or cold drink, a savoury snack or sweet treat while sitting under the leafy shade nearby.
“By activating open spaces we hope to provide an opportunity for the community to come together, to connect with one another, and to feel pride in where they live,” Cr Cherry said.
“The community has embraced using Jack Evans Boat Harbour in this new way and it has given us ideas on what residents want with the space into the future.”
The Places to Love program is proudly funded by Transport for NSW, with the community encouraged to take public transport or walk, ride, skate or scoot to the precinct.
