Free outdoor movies return to Stanley Park
One of the summer's most popular events is coming back for another year
Ever watched Purple Rain under the stars or enjoyed The Outsiders in the great outdoors?
A four-storey inflatable movie screen will be up every Tuesday from July 5 to August 23 in Ceperley Meadow near Second Beach.
Bring your own blankets or lawn chairs for the completely free event and make sure you arrive early to find space and to enjoy pre-show games, prizes, and giveaway. There is no smoking or drinking alcohol allowed at the family-friendly event.
With thousands of people hoping to score a free seat you might want to consider transit, walking, or biking to the event. There will be a bike valet service offered on site.
Movies start at dusk, so you'll want to check what time the sun is setting before you go.
