Friday Family Flicks in Garner is a free outdoor movie series hosting a screening of the Super Mario movie on the lawn of the Garner Recreation Center on Friday, August 14, 2026. The evening begins at 7:15 p.m. with themed activities, and the film starts rolling at 8:15 p.m. To make the most of your evening, plan to arrive when the gates open at 7:15 p.m. so your kids can participate in the free Mario-themed crafts, temporary tattoos, and games. The recreation center playground is open for extra energy-burning before showtime. While admission is free, you will want to bring cash or card for the food trucks, which include hot dogs, ice cream, and snow cones. Be sure to pack your own low-backed lawn chairs or thick blankets, as seating is on the grass. This event makes a smart addition to your weekend plans because it combines dinner, structured kids activities, and a movie into one low-stress evening. It is an easy way to enjoy a summer night outdoors without breaking your budget.
