Back to School Movie Night

By Sarah Shurge – Don’t miss out on Wayne’s annual Back to School Movie Night. The Minions will be taking over the lawn for a screening of Despicable Me 4 on Friday, August 22nd.
The movie night location will be at the Wayne Historical Museum and Hillcrest Bible Church (1 Towne Square). Biddle Street will be blocked and closed for this event.
The festivities and back pack distribution kick off at 5:00 p.m. Families are encouraged to arrive early to get in line. While supplies last, each child will receive a free backpack filled with school supplies to help them start the year off right.
There will be music and dancing with DJ Lutali from The Dance Academy, games, prizes, and three different food trucks: Fun Food Express, Emelias Guac n Roll Taco Truck, and Shaved Ice.
There will be free popcorn and snacks starting around 6:30 p.m. at Hill Crest.
Local business partners will host fun activities and set up information tables from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
For the first time, Mad Science Detroit will join the event with an interactive science discovery station for kids to explore and experiment.
“We’re shining a spotlight on science and the curiosity, creativity, and excitement that come with discovering how things work,” said Lisa Kubany, Wayne Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Marketing and Events Director.
Despicable Me 4 will begin playing at 7:15 p.m.
“There’s something magical about watching a movie under the stars while helping kids feel excited and supported for what’s ahead and celebrate the excitement of a new school year,” said Kubany. For more information about Mad Science Detroit, visit detroit.madscience.org.
