About this event
Twenty-six summers in, this is still the outdoor screening every New Yorker names first. The lawn opens at six and fills fast; by sunset several thousand people are picnicking on the grass with the Manhattan skyline and the illuminated Brooklyn Bridge sitting directly behind the screen. Bring a blanket, bring dinner, and claim your square metre early — capacity is strictly first-come, first-served.
Why we picked it
The best free view in New York comes with a film attached, and the August line-up spans Spielberg, Spike Lee and a Public Choice finale.
Free entry
Free admission; capacity is first come, first served. Food and drink are sold on site but no purchase is required to attend.
Registration
None — limited capacity, first come first served (arrive well before 18:00 on popular nights)
