Movies
Movie buff? Don’t miss watching your favorite films under the stars. All summer long, parks across all five boroughs will host free outdoor screenings of fan favorites and cult classics. From ’80s faves such as “When Harry Met Sally” and “Friday the 13th” to French films with subtitles, you won’t be disappointed. You can even view the Academy Award winning film for sound and film editing, “Dunkirk,” from aboard a real battleship! Check out the summer lineup here.
If July leaves you wanting more, plan ahead for August viewing. The Central Park Film festival kicks off next month and showcases favorites from the 1970s through today. Just bring a blanket and your own picnic! Check out details here.

Help set a world record while honoring a 9/11 hero! On July 16 in Central Park, RDS will help the community honor Sept. 11 hero Welles Crowther (a.k.a.
