⭐ This Week’s Family Fun Pick
🗓 Saturday • October 17 • Film: Dudley & The Invasion of The Space Slugs
Time: 12:30 PM
Location: Big Newport 5
DUDLEY, a headstrong young frog, longs to break free from the suffocating control of his father ARTHUR, the mayor of Frog Town, and prove he's capable of more than anyone believes — including the local streetwise gang led by a sassy newt named MADGE. His chance comes when a mysterious alien spacecraft crashes into the pond and becomes trapped in the mud.
But the crash is no accident. The small group of aliens on board, armed with highly advanced miniaturizing technology, is on a mission to suck up all the water on Earth and sell it across the galaxy for vast profit.
Bring the whole family and enjoy live music throughout the event, plus a themed kids' craft station where little ones can get creative with festive fall-inspired activities.
🗓 Saturday • October 17 • Family Fun Fest
Newport Beach Civic Center Green
