Sing Under the Stars at Encanto Movie Night
This one’s got all the makings of a core memory. The Bentonville Square is turning into a mini-Madrigal paradise for a family-friendly movie night that kicks off the Festival weekend with color, music, and full-on Disney magic. Yes, we’re talking about a free Encanto sing-along under the stars—and yes, you’re absolutely allowed to belt out “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

📍Where: Bentonville Square
📅 When: Wednesday, June 5

What’s Happening:
Here’s the vibe: face painting, a dress-up contest, coloring stations, and themed photo ops—all before the movie even starts. Kids (and, let’s be honest, adults too) are encouraged to dress up as their fave Encanto characters or just go wild with bright, fun outfits.
Bring a blanket or lawn chair and get cozy for a full-on sing-along with your NWA neighbors. This isn’t just a movie—it’s a whole celebration of music, family, and local fun. Perfect way to kick off the June 5–7 festival happening all weekend!

Wrap It Up With a Nudge:
Even if you’ve seen Encanto a dozen times (let’s be real, probably more), there’s something extra magical about watching it outside on the Square with the community. Plus—it’s free. Grab your people, your most colorful outfit, and we’ll see you there.
