Moviegoers have the opportunity to view these films comfortably with cabaret style seating with café tables and chairs, so no need to bring a blanket to sit on. Before the movie starts, walk the red carpet to music of the movie’s era and take your photo with cut-outs of the characters. Another perk is that guests may pre-purchase dinner (at least 24 hours in advance) from various restaurants and food merchants at the Marketplace and enjoy their food while watching the movie. You can also win tickets to Blue Man Group and the new Dreamland Wax Museum at City Hall Plaza.

All movies are rated PG-13. For more information and for details on how to order meals online visit http://www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com/event/marketplace-movie-nights/2145493433.
