Free Outdoor Movie Nights At NOW Pop-Up Park Hosted By Rosslyn BID In April

ARLINGTON, VA — Rosslyn’s outdoor movie nights are returning this spring with three free Thursday screenings at the NOW pop-up park, 1401 Wilson Blvd. Rosslyn Cinema is scheduled for April 9, April 16 and April 23, with the park opening at 6 p.m. and each movie beginning at sunset, about 7:30 p.m.

The series is hosted by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District and is set to feature a different movie each week. The lineup includes “F1: The Movie” on April 9, “Freaky Friday” on April 16 and “You’ve Got Mail” on April 23. Organizers describe the weekly themes as spanning action, comedy, romance and nostalgia.

At the park, moviegoers can expect complimentary popcorn and candy while supplies last, along with seating and picnic blankets. Drinks will be available for purchase at the Pub in the Park. The event will also include lawn games and weekly pre-movie themed experiences before the screenings begin.

For people looking to grab dinner, Ravenna Pizza in Rosslyn is offering a special deal for moviegoers. The Roman-style pizzeria plans to offer two slices and a soda for $11.95 during the series.

Rosslyn Cinema is designed as a free way for people to spend spring evenings outdoors while also supporting local businesses. The series also highlights the NOW pop-up park, one of Rosslyn’s newer public gathering spaces.

Each screening is planned as a picnic-style event with room for people to spread out and gather before the movie starts. With the park opening 90 minutes before showtime, attendees will have time to pick up snacks, buy drinks and take part in the pre-movie activities.

The April schedule is set for three consecutive Thursdays. Anyone planning to attend can head to the NOW pop-up park at 6 p.m., with the movies starting at sunset each night.
