It's time again for free fun under the stars!

This weekend is a kickoff for many of the outdoor movie screenings happening around the metro area this summer, so grab a picnic basket and blanket and head to the park with your family or friends.

Most screenings begin at dusk, though many events also offer pre-screening activities such as face-painting or live entertainment. Most allow you to bring food items in proper containers. The rules on alcoholic beverages vary so be sure to check with each venue.

NOTE: Some events have not yet completed their schedules. I've listed them as TBA and will update this page as I get additional information.

Enjoy!
