Whether sprawled out on a blanket or reclined in cars throwing it back to the days of drive-in movies, Long Islanders will once again be treated to outdoor movies all summer long.
Dozens of films from both new and old will be screened—weather permitting—across the Island in the coming months. The parks, beaches and community centers that host the events are sure to be fun filled, family centric environments for all to enjoy–usually free of charge. Pack snacks, drinks and lots of insect repellant.
“Grab a blanket, pack some snacks and come enjoy some family-friendly movies under the stars this summer,” said Nassau County Executive Mangano.
Below is a list of all outdoor movie screenings across the Island from early June through Labor Day.
