Watch Your Movies Outdoors.

[ 0 ] July 13, 2016 | Johnna

Things I love about D.C.: how retro and new school it can be at the same time. Bringing back drive-in movies to the D.C. scene has just changed my whole date night. Being an 80’s baby means I have no true recollection of seeing a movie in this forum, my movies have all been in air-conditioned theaters. The things I dreamt of experiencing in movies are now coming to fruition. Don’t have a car or are not interested in keeping it steamy in your car? Try Washington City Paper, in partnership with Events DC, outdoor movie screenings this summer. Deets on both below.
