As the weather grows warmer, parks and beaches around Long Island will be screening plenty of films al fresco. Pack some snacks, bring a chair or blanket and then just wait for sundown. Who needs the multiplex? Outdoor movies offer an opportunity to watch your favorite movies under the stars. Check out the following list for outdoor cinema screenings in a park near you:

Jodi Rynearson remembers growing up in Roseburg when there weren’t all that many wholesome activities for youngsters. That’s why she was so excited to hear about Movies in the Park and its family-friendly approach to entertainment. The outdoor movies in Roseburg are a great family-friendly activity and fun for both children and adults.
School’s out and the city of Killeen is ready to provide some family-friendly entertainment with the return of its Hot Summer Nights Outdoor Concert and the outdoor Movies in the Park series. The outdoor events and movies under the stars all kick off tonight with a show at 8 by Lance Wade Thomas, a country crooner from Holland.
The show will go on. That’s the Movies in the Park event planned for Saturday night at Stewart Park in Roseburg. Despite damages caused by inclement weather, the outdoor movies are scheduled to screen as planned.
Locally Grown, a free entertainment series in downtown Chapel Hill, encourages everyone to Buy Local, Eat Local and Be Local while enjoying live concerts and outdoor movies featuring live music from local performers, movies and family-friendly activities.
