Movie Night: Finding Nemo
July 17 @ 8:30 pm – 10:00 pm
To help keep the Great Lawn safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone, please review our guidelines below before arriving.
It was a close race, but this animated favorite swam to the top during January’s Oscar Nominee Showdown! Enjoy a screening of Finding Nemo (G)!
An overprotective clown fish named Marlin is desperate to find his missing son, Nemo. During his search, Marlin enlists the help of a forgetful blue tang, and they head for Sydney. It’s rumored that a fishnapped Nemo is living there in a dentist’s aquarium.
Grab your cushions, blankets, and chairs for ultimate comfort as you settle in to enjoy the film. Food trucks will also be on site.
