You will not find red carpets and paparazzi at this popular Austin Film Festival. What you will find are, smiling and happy parents escorting excited and giddy kids. Starting June 12th, Regal Entertainment sponsors a nine-week
Summer Family Movie Festival that showcases selected "G" and "PG-rated" movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10:00 am for free. The movies are shown at three theatres in Austin and are on a first come, first serve basis. The three theaters participating are, the Arbor Cinema at Great Hills, the Westgate Stadium 11, and the Lakeline Mall 9 in Cedar Park. Get there early, this is a summer favorite for Austin families and seating is limited...at least until the theatre is full. For a detailed list of movie listings and theatre locations,
