For a really cool way to spend a great night out with the family, head over to Coconut Grove’s Barnacle Historic State Park for the popular “Movies in the Park” program with the next viewing scheuled for Friday, Aug. 24, at 8:30 p.m.
Presented by the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District (BID), visitors are invited to bring their blankets and chairs for an evening under the stars to watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
And the best part is admission is free and there is a Freebee shuttle service that totes moviegoers form and to neighboring parking lots and garages, before and after the event. Or visitors can save gas and take advantage of a bicycle valet service at the park, provided by Bike Coconut Grove.

If you want to land a great spot on the lawn, get to the park early, at 8 p.m., when the gate opens. Also, note that no pets are allowed.
Need a nudge remembering the story line of this 2017 Star Wars hit (rated PG-13)? Well here you go: Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares for battle with the First Order.
Looking ahead, the Sept. 28 film is Meet the Fockers, also rated PG-13. In this movie, newly engaged Greg and Pam join Pam’s straitlaced family on an RV trip to Miami to meet Greg’s eccentric parents. Get ready for lots of laughs with this film.
