The cherry blossoms are proving their resilience and baseball is back. And for another encouraging sign of spring, outdoor movie nights are starting THIS Friday at Union Market!
Our local drive-in movie experience (or bike-in or walk-in) kicks off this Friday, April 7, with The Royal Tenenbaums.
“Movie lovers and retro fanatics alike can munch on theater-quality delectables while The DC Rollergirls will be on hand delivering snacks and drinks on wheels. The always-popular drive-in movie series has brought in consistent crowds since its inception in 2012, with the throwback event offering a unique retreat for those looking for communal fun and vintage kitsch.”
The shows are all free for walk-ins in the picnic area, or $10 per car.
