Family Fun & Flix, a free outdoor summer entertainment and film series presented by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, continues tonight, July 28, with the presentation of Big Hero 6 at Warinanco Park.
Big Hero 6 is an animated action adventure produced by the Walt Disney Studios. It’s the story of a special bond that develops between a plus-sized inflatable robot named Baymax, and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes.
“Family Fun & Flix gives families the opportunity to visit our Union County parks, enjoy a free movie, and take part in activities that promote healthy habits for children,” said the Union County Freeholder.
The New Jersey State Division of Child Protection and Permanency are sponsoring the movie, and representatives of the agency will be on site with information about foster parenting.
Audiences are encouraged to arrive at 7:30 to participate in UC FIT Kids’ Karate, a free fitness fun activity for children sponsored by the Freeholder Board and presented by Shim’s Martial Arts Academy of Elizabeth. The movie will start at dusk.
Included in the pre-movie fun is a free Lego activity for the children.
As always with Family Fun & Flix, free popcorn will be distributed to children attending the movie.
All movies in the Family Fun & Flix series begin at dusk. Bleacher seating is available or bring blankets and beach chairs to relax on the lawn.
