Car Show, Autism-Friendly Movie Among Weekend Events [Get Out]

There are lots of things happening this weekend. It's a weekend full of community events. Celebrate the French Revolution at Media's Bastille Day and 2nd Saturday Arts Stroll. But if a stroll isn't quite your pace and you're looking for fast, head out to Media's Car Show where you'll find hundreds of cars from around the Delaware Valley. Then there is a unique experience for families affected by autism or special needs at the AMC Marple 10 Movie Theater where you can watch Despicable Me 2 in a sensory friendly way.
