When the weather cools in the Valley, it's time to head outside and enjoy it.
One way is to grab the lawn chairs and blankets, make some popcorn, pack a picnic dinner, and watch a family-friendly movie on the big screen at a community park around the Valley.
The schedules feature some of the more recent animated films like Moana, The LEGO Batman Movie and Boss Baby, along with some classics like Ghostbusters (the original version) and Hocus Pocus.
