If your usual evening out in Lennox ends once dinner is finished, here’s a reason to stay a little longer.

Lennox Alive returns on Saturday 14 November 2026, with a free outdoor screening of Back to the Future advertised for Ross Park.

There’s also live music planned in the park and around town, giving locals a chance to make an afternoon and evening of it.

You don’t have to organise an elaborate night out.

An early meal, a catch-up and a film could be enough of a plan.

A familiar film under the stars

Back to the Future is the announced choice for the pop-up cinema.

If it’s been years since you watched it, this could be a good excuse to revisit it with a friend or introduce it to someone who hasn’t seen it.

The organiser’s current information describes the outdoor cinema as free.

That’s a welcome detail when you’re weighing up the cost of taking a few people out.

You’ll still want to check the final arrangements, including whether any registration is needed and what to bring.

A free event doesn’t always mean every activity or purchase around it is included.

Where it’s happening

Ross Park is listed at 73-75 Ballina Street, Lennox Head.

The current event page gives the overall programme as 3pm to 11pm.

Those are the event hours, not a confirmed film starting time.

At the time of checking, the visible programme did not specify when the screening itself would begin.

If the movie is your main reason for going, check that detail closer to the date rather than arriving at 3pm expecting the opening credits.

It’s also worth checking whether any arrangements have changed before you leave home.

Make it a catch-up

The appeal of an event like this is that you can fit it around the people you’re going with.

Some might want to arrive earlier for music, while others may prefer to meet for food and stay for the film.

Agree on a meeting place and decide which part of the programme matters most to your group.

There’s no need to fill every hour just because the event runs into the evening.

If you’re bringing children, check the film’s suitability for your family and the screening time before promising a late night.

For questions about seating, access or other practical needs, contact the organiser rather than relying on assumptions about the park.

Part of a regular local programme

Lennox Alive is presented as a monthly series, bringing music, arts, food and other activities to venues around Lennox Head.

November’s outdoor cinema gives this edition a straightforward focus: somewhere to meet and something to watch together.

For Ballina readers, it could be a pleasant change from staying home without turning the outing into a long trip away.

Leave time to get there, choose your food stop if you want one, and work out the journey home.

The details to check before heading over

Put Saturday 14 November in the diary, but use the organiser’s latest programme for the screening time, access information and any wet-weather changes.

Details here were checked on 4 November 2026, when the event page advertised free cinema and an overall 3pm to 11pm programme.

With the basics sorted, you can get on with the more enjoyable question: who’s coming along?
