It is the next best thing to having a drive-in right here in the City.”
The movies will be shown outdoors on Thursday nights throughout July and

Movie attendees will be able to vote for one of five movies that will be shown
on the last Thursday in the series. Residents will be able to cast their vote at
each movie or on the SomerMovie Fest Webpage, beginning July 16th.
Movies will be canceled when it rains or when inclement weather is forecast.
“With the help of Comcast, we have been able to provide the community with
this great event that celebrates the summer months in the city.” Curtatone

presented, so we hope to show films for many summers to come.”
