Movie Night Under the Stars at Sertoma Amphitheatre is a free outdoor community event featuring a screening of the animated film Monsters Inc. on September 23, 2026. The evening kicks off at 7:30 PM with pre-show activities, including a themed craft station and karaoke, before the film begins. This event is best suited for toddlers through elementary-aged children who can stay up for a evening film. Admission and popcorn are completely free, and you do not need to register in advance. The amphitheater features paved, tiered seating, but you will want to bring blankets or lawn chairs to make the space comfortable for your little ones. This is an easy, budget-friendly option for a Wednesday evening. Because the venue is nestled inside Bond Park, you can arrive early to let the kids burn off energy at the playground before the activities start.
