What better way to spend a balmy summer night than outside watching a movie? Now through September you’ll find free films on the big screen at several local parks and plazas. So grab your blankets and chairs and arrive early to stake out your perfect spot.
1. Rosslyn Cinema at Gateway Park
Every Friday evening brings a film screening to this pooch-friendly gathering spot in Rosslyn. Upcoming options include Ratatouille (June 29), Bridesmaids (July 6), La La Land (July 27), Lethal Weapon (Aug. 10) and Four Weddings and a Funeral (Aug. 24). Movies start at dusk, but you’ll probably want to arrive earlier. You’ll find games, food trucks, wine, beer and homemade sangria in the Pub in the Park starting at 5 p.m. Films include captioning.
