2012 DC Outdoor Film Festivals

Watching movies under the stars in the DC area is a summer tradition. We have several options of when/where to watch movies. When the weather agrees with us they can be a lot of fun, so grab your friends, some beverages and snacks to enjoy during the movie. This might be the only time that it is okay to Quack during the movie...

The image attached is a schedule I put together for the major outdoor screenings.

Crystal Screen: Summer of Romance (Mondays at 9pm) located near the Crystal City metro at 18th and South Bell Street.

Finally, the folks involved with the DC Screen on the Green released their schedule.  I believe they had difficulties in planning because of the current rehabiliation project on the National Mall.
