All the movies playing for free in St. Paul parks this summer
Minneapolis isn't the only spot to catch free movies in the park this summer.
St. Paul has its own Movies in the Parks series, and this year the city is going with "Flashback to the 90s" as its theme.
While it doesn't have more than 60 nights of movies like Minneapolis, St. Paul has some good movies on the calendar, and each night will have the Sweet Dairy food truck dishing up food to film lovers.
Movies are free and "typically begin at dusk," per the Parks and Recreation site, but there may be exceptions. It's worth taking a look at the site before heading out the door with your finest picnic blanket.
The calendar is largely geared toward families, with four of seven nights featuring movies rated G or PG. Two of the nights have a PG-13 feature, though Clueless and Men in Black still have some family appeal.
The only R-rated film is the series closer, Bad Boys.
Here's what you can catch in St. Paul's lauded parks this summer.
July 10: The Parent Trap (1998) at Sibley Manor Apartments
July 25: Clueless (1995) at Como Midway Pavilion
Aug. 8: Men in Black (1997) at El Rio Vista Recreation Center
Aug. 15: Toy Story (1995) at Edgcumbe Recreation Center
Aug. 22: Cool Runnings (1993) at Central Village Park
Aug. 29: Jumanji (1995) at Lake Phalen Beach
Sept. 5: Bad Boys (1995) at Harriet Island Target Stage

Lindsay Lohan opens up about motherhood and ‘feeling safe' in Dubai after escaping LA
After nearly 30 years in the spotlight, Lindsay Lohan took a step back from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and uprooted her life from Los Angeles to Dubai in 2014. Since then, the 'Mean Girls' actress, 38, has not only become a wife and a mother, she has found peace within herself. Advertisement Lohan, who appears on the cover of Elle's 2025 Summer Issue , opened up about her life overseas and what she's learned about herself, both personally and professionally, since making the move. 'It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?' In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us,' said Lohan, who shares 1-year-old son Luai with husband Bader Shammas. 'Everyone has their own thing going on. There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A.' 'But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there. I feel safe.' Lohan, who began working at age 3 and gained stardom with her first movie role in the 1998 remake of 'The Parent Trap,' was thrown into the thick of Hollywood. Advertisement 5 Lindsay Lohan opened up about life after her move to Dubai in 2014. Chris Colls for ELLE Often facing public scrutiny, the 'Freaky Friday' star had enough and moved to Dubai in 2014. 'I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying. I wish that part didn't happen,' Lindsay told Bustle in 2024. 'I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that's why I wanted to disappear. I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'' Advertisement 5 'I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger,' Lohan said about her reason for moving. 'I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'' Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA In 2022, Lohan spoke about how she was taking control of her own narrative through social media. 'When I first started out in the business, none of us had a say in how to control our own narrative,' she told Cosmopolitan. 'There were paparazzi pictures, and then people ran with it. So I think it's really good that, in this day and age, people can say who they are and who they want to be. And I admire and appreciate that. I'm a little jealous because I didn't have that. But I think it moves really fast, and I just try to keep up as best I can. And I check everything before I post it. I'll send it to people, because you have to.' 'You have to take everything people say with a grain of salt and just be you and slow down because everyone's so quick right now,' she said. 'People just don't stop. You've got to chill.' Advertisement 5 Lindsay Lohan and husband Bader Shammas attend the Vanity Fair Oscars party after the 97th Academy Awards in Beverly Hills on March 2. REUTERS After moving to Dubai, Lohan quickly learned the power of saying 'no' when it comes to picking and choosing professional projects. 'They teach you to say 'yes' to everything, and that's not really what life's all about,' she told Bustle of her earlier years in the industry. 'I was like, 'What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?' And it took me just taking time for me for all those doors to open and the 'yeses' to come, the things I wanted to say 'yes' to.' Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Freakier Friday,' said she's found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being. '[Jamie and I] are both very family-oriented people. We always talk about that, and one of the other big things [she's taught me] is to always take care of yourself first,' she told Elle. 'Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?' 5 Lohan starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Freaky Friday' and the upcoming sequel, 'Freakier Friday.' Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP 'I love having a routine, and I like schedules,' she continued. 'So, my morning routine: waking up, writing in my journal, sipping my green tea, breakfast with my son, and then Pilates, making sure I go.' Despite her hectic schedule, Lohan said the 'most important thing' in her life is family. Advertisement 'I mean, it's the most important thing: my husband, my son and me. It's all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I've got to live by that.' Lohan is no stranger to criticism. With fame comes speculative curiosity, especially when it comes to her appearance. 5 'I love having a routine, and I like schedules,' Lohan said.

The star shared the secrets behind the skincare routine that she says has dramatically altered her look. 'Everyone does Botox,' Lohan said. 'I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skincare is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing. I'm testing them.' 'Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up,' the 38-year-old said. 'I drink lemon juice a lot. I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches I do every morning. I'm into lasers.' Advertisement 'I did Morpheus8 (a noninvasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that,' Lohan said. 'My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me.'

10 Gifts That Scream Summer Camp Nostalgia
In this edition of The Gift, we've found some gifts that channel cool, retro-summer camp vibes. Plus: a super-light camping chair we love and some throwback soccer shorts. I didn't go to traditional sleepaway camp as a kid. My dad was a professor at a local university and had summers off to hang. He was also fixated on me becoming a pro women's basketball player — about 25 years too early — so the only camp he'd pony up for was a weeklong basketball intensive. There were no s'mores, no archery, no bonfires. Just defensive drills, one-on-ones, and plenty of footfires. All of which partially explains why I have such imagined nostalgia for real summer camp. Label my clothes! Assign me a cabin! And please, please teach me to make a lanyard. I think a lot of us carry this fantasy for an imagined summer escape. Some of it, no doubt, comes from culture, too. Blame it on Meatballs, Salute Your Shorts, or The Parent Trap, but every year as Memorial Day passes, I find myself lusting after pine trees, cabin stays, singalongs, and lakeside lounging. And adding a few finds to my life that have a certain vintage summer vibe to them tends to scratch this itch. It makes me feel a bit like I'm the main character in an idyllic, camp-y movie — with plenty of warm months ahead of me to enjoy. So it's with confidence that I say no matter where you're traveling or staying this summer, infusing a little camp vibes into your gifting — for others or yourself — will be much appreciated. A few ideas: A few years back I got a Hometown Apparel sweatshirt screenprinted with the name of a beloved local lake. It's now my summer uniform. If you're visiting someone at a cottage or cabin, a hoodie with the name of the town would make a thoughtful, cozy houseguest gift. (You can find any town on the site. Prove me wrong!) These extremely cozy modern striped tube socks also have that '70s camp uniform feel. A great group gift for a friend trip. You needn't be sipping powdered lemonade in the mess hall to appreciate this classic enamelware pitcher. If I really get my act together, I'll bring one with flowers in it when I visit a friend in his Hamptons' rental this summer. I'm also smitten with these splatterware tumblers, which could work as vessels for juleps or spritzers (and toothbrushes in the off season). No summer camp would be complete without nature walks and arts and crafts. During the pandemic lockdowns, I gave a friend one of these grown-up tie-dye kits, which comes with a shibori tutorial and all the fixings, (a silk handkerchief, plant-based dye). Meanwhile, kids might have a lot of fun with these animal print stamps, while their grown-ups enjoy these pocket-sized nature study guides. The guides are less than $10 apiece and would be great on the coffee table of any summer retreat. (The scat finder one is a real crowdpleaser.) As for letters home, shouldn't we all have a set of these Sakura Cray-Pas Japanese pastels and a pad of postcards? Store-bought postcards are nice, but homemade ones are even better, and those smudgy oil pastels make it easy to succeed with more abstract interpretations of one's surroundings. Both gifts take up next-to-zero room in an overnight bag — er, trunk. I'll leave you with this fancy s'mores kit courtesy of Recchiuti, makers of one of our favorite boxed chocolates. The shipping charges almost double the cost, but that one singular bite of melty, marshmallow-y goodness — under the stars or over your stove's pilot light — will be a slam dunk.
