Blockbusters and Blankets: SomerMovie Fest Returns
Six family-friendly films to be shown in Somerville parks
Mayor Katjana Ballantyne is inviting the Somerville community to break out the picnic blankets and popcorn, as SomerMovie Fest 2025 is bringing six free outdoor films to City parks this summer. From robot adventures and ‘90s cult classics to Oscar winners and pink-powered blockbusters, there’s a movie night for everyone.
Movies begin at dusk, and showtimes are approximate. Arrive early to grab a good spot, get comfortable, and enjoy the summer evening with neighbors and friends.
