The lineup features three free screenings for all ages!

The series concludes with a wildly imaginative, time-traveling adventure packed with humor, fantasy, and surreal twists. It’s a cult classic that delights audiences of all ages.
All screenings are taking place at the Midtown Linear Park, at Cornell St, right behind Red Owl Collective. As part of the Kingston Greenline, the park connects neighborhoods to local businesses and services while promoting accessibility, health, and community. With events like Summer Movies in the Park, it serves as both a cultural hub and a symbol of thoughtful, community-driven revitalization.
The Midtown Business Alliance takes pleasure in supporting the creative use of public space to bring our community closer together. Miles Crettien, President of the MBA Board says, “Activating public spaces helps create a vibrant environment where both community and businesses can thrive. Movies bring people together, and offering them for free ensures everyone can participate. This event also directly supports Midtown business vendors who are vending on-site.”
The screenings begin at sunset. Arrive early and get delicious food from MBA members including Masa Midtown and Samosa Shack!
