See an outdoor movie this summer at local parks, beaches and more. Credit: Gordon M. Grant
Stroll into a park or onto a beach an evening this summer and chances are you'll find an event worth sticking around for. Long Island neighborhoods are hosting outdoor movies, some of the drive-in variety, where you can set up on a picnic blanket or sit on the trunk of your car to catch a flick. Come with a plan for how you'll handle snacks and drinks (some screenings include a la carte services from food vendors). All movies listed are free and open to Nassau and Suffolk residents unless otherwise noted. Weather may alter the schedule.
