Brooklyn Bridge Park Outdoor Movies 2017: Here's What's Playing This Summer

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Movie lovers will gather on the lawns of Brooklyn Bridge Park this summer to watch new blockbuster hits and beloved classics. Movies With A View will screen outdoor movies every Thursday evening in July and August on Harbor View Lawn, accessible from Old Fulton Street and the Squibb Park Bridge.

The new DeKalb Market Hall will provide vendors who will serve up popcorn, kebabs, cake pops and more. You’ll also be able to buy beer and wine — but don’t try to bring any of your own — security will be doing bag checks this year. The (metaphorical) doors open around 6 p.m. and movies begin after sunset.

Check out the films slated for the following weeks along — with clips to get you excited for movie night — below. And be sure to check out our roundup of outdoor movies playing across New York City this summer.
