Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the outdoor movie nights?
Town parks run them through the warmer months — Downtown Cary Park, Dix Park and several town greens all host free screenings. Bring a blanket and arrive early for a spot near the front.
Are there sensory-friendly screenings near me?
Yes. Several Triangle cinemas run regular sensory-friendly showings with the lights up and the sound down, and movement is fine. They are usually weekend mornings.
Are outdoor film nights free?
Town-run screenings almost always are. Festival and cinema screenings are ticketed. Use the free filter to see only the no-cost ones.
