Get ready to sail back into the heart of Oceania with a free screening of Moana 2 at the DCP Great Lawn Pavilion in celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. On May 23, come early for pre-screening activities like arts and crafts, a sing-along with Moana, and swim safety tips from Goldfish Swim School of Cary. The adventure kicks off at 6 PM, and the movie begins at sunset. Food trucks will also be on-site, so bring your appetite!
