Oakley Movies on Main Brings The Wild Robot to Civic Center Plaza on Aug. 21

Summer movie nights have a way of turning Civic Center Plaza into one of Oakley's easiest family outings, and Aug. 21 brings another one to the calendar with a sunset screening of The Wild Robot.

The city has the evening running from 6 to 11 p.m. at 3231 Main Street, with crafts, activities, and trivia starting an hour before sunset. That earlier start gives families time to grab a spot, let kids settle in, and ease into the night before the movie begins.

Movies on Main works because it feels like more than a film showing. Guests can bring outside food and drinks, except alcohol, while the snack shack behind the stage keeps popcorn, snacks, and refreshments close by.

For families looking for a relaxed late-summer plan, The Wild Robot fits neatly into that format. It's the kind of Oakley evening built for blankets, lawn chairs, and lingering in the plaza after the sun starts to drop.
