Enjoy 'Movies in the Park' this summer at The Barnacle

For a really cool way to spend a night out with the family this summer, go no farther than The Barnacle Historic State Park. That’s because the popular Movies-in-the-Park program is now in full swing — with the next viewing set for Friday, July 26, at 8:30 p.m.

Captain Marvel will be presented on that night by the Coconut Grove BID (Business Improvement District) — and the best part is, admission is free.

There even is a totally free “Freebee Shuttle” that totes movie-goers between the park and neighboring parking lots and garages.

And for green-conscious visitors who would rather ride their bikes to the event, they may take advantage of a bicycle valet service at the park, provided by Bike Coconut Grove. For information, visit www.coconutgrove.com.

To land a great spot on the lawn, park rangers encourage attendees to arrive early, at about 8 p.m. when the gate opens. It’s an opportunity to spread out their beach blankets, picnic baskets, and lawn chairs. Also, note that no pets are allowed.
