Rosslyn’s annual outdoor summer cinema series is set to kick off one month from now.
The free Friday night movies in Gateway Park (1300 Lee Highway) will begin June 2 and run through Aug. 25.
There will be food trucks on site to serve dinner and popcorn, while a “Pub in the Park” will offer beer, wine, mocktails and movie-themed cocktails. On five nights — June 2, June 16, July 7, July 28 and Aug. 18 — a DJ will perform before the film.
The films on the docket for 2017 are:
- June 2 — Grease
- June 9 — Frozen
- June 16 — Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
- June 23 — National Lampoon’s European Vacation
- June 30 — Some Like It Hot
- July 7 — GoldenEye
- July 14 — The Father of the Bride
- July 21 — Moana
- July 28 — The Wizard of Oz
- August 4 — When Harry Met Sally
- August 11 — Lego Batman
- August 18 — The Avengers
- August 25 — Mary Poppins
The films generally start shortly after sundown. The event is sponsored by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District.
Another local BID, Crystal City, decided to discontinue its usual summer movie nights this year, citing a crowded marketplace of similar events around the area.
