Summer Pop-Up Movie Nights
This summer, come enjoy a movie under the stars with friends, neighbors, and the Open Door community! We’ll be gathering informally at local parks — bring a blanket or chair, invite someone, and enjoy being together.
Pop-Up Style:
No need to RSVP — just show up and look for familiar faces. It’s a chance to connect, relax, and enjoy a good film in great company. All movies — which are offered free of charge — start at dusk unless otherwise noted.
