Missing all those outdoor summer movie screenings? With the fun fall weather upon us here in Washington, DC, somebody’s got the right idea about continuing the free flicks. The Capitol Riverfront, in case you didn’t know, is the neighborhood springing up all around the new Nationals baseball stadium. In an effort to keep the community lively and keep people moving in, neighborhood planners have an entire calender of regular events going on in the area– including free movies on Thursday nights. Last week, they kicked off their Outer Space outdoor movie series with “Toy Story,” and the line-up will continue over the next three weeks:
September 24: “Spaceballs” at Canal Park
October 1: “Apollo 13″ at Canal Park
October 8: “Star Wars” (location TBA)
It’s fall, so go apple picking and buy your Halloween candy early, but don’t forget your free movies in the meantime. Visit the Capitol Riverfront’s site for full details.
