The summer heat can be relentless day and night, but a brief respite is on the horizon!
If you’ve been hoping to get out for some fresh air, enjoy free films under the stars during Columbia Pike Movie Nights, Fridays and Saturdays from July 12 through August 24.
The series takes place at two locations: Fridays at Arlington Mill Community Center and Saturdays at Penrose Square. There’s something for everyone, from comedies and documentaries to musicals and adventure films!
This is the 13th season of free outdoor movies sponsored by the Columbia Pike Partnership.
