Stroll into a park or onto a beach one evening this summer and chances are you'll find an event worth staying for. Long Island neighborhoods are hosting outdoor movies, some of the drive-in variety, where you can set up on a picnic blanket or a beach chair to catch a film.
Come with a plan for how you'll manage snacks and drinks (some screenings include à la carte services from food vendors). All movies listed are free and open to Nassau and Suffolk residents unless otherwise noted. Weather may change the schedule.
