Riverway Movie Nights returns with Minions: The Rise of Gru
Date published: 15 June 2023
Council’s always popular Riverway Movie Nights returns this Friday at 6.30pm with a free screening of animated movie Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Featuring an open-air cinema under the stars and food trucks at Riverway Oval, Council runs these family-friendly events on the third Friday of every month.
Families can pack a blanket and head down to Riverway to see how Gru rose to his supervillain status alongside his lovable yellow minions.
Community and Cultural Development Committee chairperson Ann-Maree Greaney said Riverway Movie nights were a great night out and a free event to be enjoyed by all members of the community.
“You can bring the kids along, bring your own popcorn or other treats and a picnic blanket to enjoy the open-air cinema,” Cr Greaney said.
“It’s a relaxed movie night where you can enjoy time with family or friends under the stars to kick off the weekend.
“This free event is really well supported by young people in Townsville and through this and other Council-run events and initiatives the youth of our city have an opportunity to connect with the wider community.”
Council is pleased to present this event, with free entry for everyone and food and drinks available from a food truck at the oval.
Over the past 12 months Council has delivered more than 60 inclusive events for community, including events like the Seniors Luncheon, Our Townsville, NAFA, Carols by Candlelight and Townsville Eats, while working to attract a range of additional events for Townsville residents.
