Freetown Plans Free Outdoor Movie Nights for Families This Summer

Nothing says summer like watching movies outside. The SouthCoast doesn't really have a nearby drive-in theatre, so most of us are regulated to catching some movies that are being shown in public spots. Maybe it's because of the advancements with at home entertainment systems, but even those types of outdoor movie nights seem to be becoming more and more rare.

The Town of Freetown, however, knows how to have some fun, so it has handpicked three Friday nights over the next couple of months to have a free movie showing. Of course, all of the titles were selected with family fun in mind, so everyone leaves happy.

Where to Watch Freetown's Free Movie Nights

All of the free movies will be shown under the stars at the Freetown Elementary School. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs. The movies will start at dusk, but there will be family-friendly fun waiting for you upon your early arrival
