Movies Under the Stars
The Mall of Georgia is bringing back its Movies Under the Stars series for 2017. This year’s series of family-friendly films kicks off with a screening of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” The show starts around dusk, but if you head over before then, you’ll find games, bouncy houses and a variety of snack concessions to enjoy. Local bands will also perform live for two hours before the movie. To be as comfy as possible during the evening, bring along a blanket or lawn chair.
6:30 p.m. May 27. Free. The Mall of Georgia Village Amphitheatre, 3333 Buford Drive, Buford. 770-271-9458, simon.com/mallofgeorgia.

CUMMING
Adult Crafts Day
Crafts aren’t just for kids. In fact, they may be even more fun when you’re old enough to handle the glue gun all by yourself. The Post Road Library in Cumming is catering to the crafty sides of adults with a series of workshops that invite them to explore and express their creative inner children. On Sunday, the craft project will be wind chimes made of seashells. All materials are provided, and no registration is necessary beforehand. If you’re looking for other craft projects to do that will include your kiddies, check out the library’s website for a list of additional workshops geared toward the younger set.
2 p.m. May 28. Free. Post Road Library, 5010 Post Road, Cumming. 770-781-9840, forsythpl.org.
