Enjoy two special outdoor screenings at Fondren Yard, hosted by the Mississippi Book Festival and the Mississippi Film Society. Each screening ties directly to featured festival guests and their new works — making this a perfect way to celebrate books, film, food, and community.

🎥 The Wild Robot
In anticipation of Peter Brown’s appearance at the Mississippi Book Festival with his brand-new picture book about Roz from The Wild Robot series, we’ll be showing The Wild Robot on the big screen at Fondren Yard. This is a family-friendly event — bring the kids, enjoy pizza from The Station, and settle in for a magical evening.

Ahead of his participation in the Festival with his new cookbook, If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It, we’ll be screening Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted. Following the film, stick around for a short Q&A with Ryan Parker, Executive Director of the Mississippi Film Society.

✨ Both events are free and open to the public. Screenings will take place outdoors in Fondren Yard — come early, grab food and drinks, and enjoy an evening under the stars.
