Catch classic films for cheap this summer

Summer movie season is upon us, with comic book and action movies dominating the box office — but new, full-price blockbusters aren't the only option for Columbus film lovers. Driving the news: Two Central Ohio staples recently announced their 2025 seasons of classic films on the big screen. 📽️ CAPA's Summer Movie Series brings 28 favorites to the historic Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $6 individually or $40 for a 10-pack. Organist Clark Wilson provides pre-show entertainment on the theatre's " Mighty Morton." The series spans nearly 80 years of movies, from the 1923 silent film "Safety Last!" to 1999's "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace." 📚 From Book to Film returns to the Gateway Film Center in partnership with the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Each Saturday from this weekend through Labor Day weekend, the Gateway will play beloved family films based on books — ranging from 1935's "Bride of Frankenstein" to 2024 smash hit "The Wild Robot."

Astoria Park announces lineup of free summer programming including fireworks and outdoor movies

Despite the ongoing closure of its iconic Great Lawn, Astoria Park is still ready to bring the summer heat—minus the turf. The Central Astoria Local Development Coalition has announced the return of its free summer programming lineup, with fireworks, concerts and outdoor movies slated to light up the season. The festivities officially kick off on Thursday, June 26 at 7pm with the 41st Annual Independence Day Celebration, culminating in a dazzling near the Hell Gate Bridge. It's a beloved Queens tradition that draws hundreds each year, picnic baskets and glow sticks in tow. While the Great Lawn typically hosts the action, it has been off-limits since September 2023 due to a $6.5 million renovation project spearheaded by NYC Parks. The Astoria Park Great Lawn Pathways Reconstruction Project aims to improve accessibility and stormwater drainage, but not before wrapping up later this year. The initial event listings caused a mild kerfuffle after referencing the still-closed lawn as the location, but Central Astoria has since clarified that all summer programming will now take place on the North Lawn near Ditmars Boulevard. NYC Parks confirmed that they're working with local groups to ensure events can go forward without a hitch. Next up is the Summer Concert Series, held every Thursday in July from July 10 through July 31. Shows begin at 7 p.m., and the vibe is strictly bring-your-own-blanket. Think Motown, rock tributes and family-friendly jams under the stars. The always-popular Summer Movie Series follows with screenings on Monday evenings: July 28, August 4, 11, and 18. Films start at 7pm, and moviegoers are invited to stake out a patch of grass early.
