The Renaissance Centre will host “flix4kidz” at 10:30 a.m., followed by “Free at 3” at 3 p.m. – each with a maximum capacity of 25 people.
The flix4kidz featured film will be “Moana”, while the Free at 3 movie will be “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947 version). Both films are rated PG.
The Renaissance Centre will implement updated safety and cleaning protocols and take all reasonable precautions to best promote the health and safety of those who choose to attend these programs.
To adhere to reduced capacity requirements, program attendees will be required to register and sign a participation waiver in advance. Online registration is open to the first 25 people to register for flix4kidz at www.wakeforestrencen.org/event/flix4kidz-0 and Free at 3 at www.wakeforestrencen.org/event/free-3-17.
On the day of the event, wellness checks will be required prior to admission and masks must be worn inside the Renaissance Centre.
