Movies returning to Riverfront Park this summer

The lineup of outdoor summer movies at Riverfront Park has been announced, featuring several recent hits and older family favorites that will be projected onto a 40-foot inflatable screen throughout June and July.

The schedule kicks off June 15 with a screening of the Marvel blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Screenings continue for the next five Fridays with the 1993 family film “The Sandlot,” the cultural juggernaut “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and 1985’s adventure comedy “The Goonies.” The lineup will be rounded out by “Jurassic World” on July 13 and “Aladdin” on July 20.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets. The seating area opens at 7 p.m. and the films begin at dusk. Admission is $5, with children 5 and younger admitted free. Several local food vendors will also be on hand during each screening.
