Movie Night: The Lion King

July 26, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Prescreening Activities 6 p.m. | Film at Sunset (approximately 8:30 p.m.)

Great Lawn Pavilion

This event was originally scheduled for June 13. 

It’s the first movie that YOU chose during January’s Summer Blockbuster Battle! Enjoy a screening of 1994’s “The Lion King” (G), curated by The Cary Theater.

Young lion cub Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, but his world is shattered when his Uncle Scar orchestrates Mufasa’s death and tricks Simba into fleeing the Pride Lands. Growing up in exile, Simba befriends Timon and Pumbaa, eventually rediscovering his courage and sense of responsibility.

Come early to enjoy pre-screening activities for all ages, making it a perfect night out for everyone. Get creative with arts and crafts at the Nest Pavilion, where kids can make their own DIY rain sticks and explore safari scratch art. Then, head to the Great Lawn for a lively community drum circle led by One Tribe Rhythms—featuring drums and noisemakers that everyone is invited to join in on!

Prescreening activities:

  • 6 – 7:30 p.m. | Arts and Crafts at the Nest Pavilion
  • 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. | One Tribe Rhythms’ Interactive Drum Circle on the Great Lawn
