The city's Films on the Field series shows Toy Story 5 (rated PG) on Friday, Nov. 6, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Field 10 at The Gardens North County District Park, 5101 117th Court N. There is no charge.

Here is the rest of the week in the city, Nov. 2 to 8.

The city's free Stories in the Park reading hour runs from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Burns Road Playground, 4404 Burns Road. It happens on the first Tuesday of every month from October through May, and if the weather turns, the stories move indoors to the Burns Road Community Center next door.
