“It is wonderful to see our community come together each year for Cinema Under the Stars, which has become an event loved by so many in throughout the Hunter,” he said.

“This year’s event will be jam-packed with fun activities, roving acts, tasty food, free popcorn and live music to enjoy.

“Cinema Under the Stars is for all ages, with plenty of activities for the little ones before the movie starts at sundown, which is sure to have you singing along to the soundtrack with its perfect mix of new hits. as well as the classics that we all know and love.
