First Friday Free Films in the Park

The Roger Williams Park Conservancy is excited to present First Friday Free Films in Roger Williams Park. These free, family-friendly events take place on Friday evenings at sunset (times change based on sunset) on the Boathouse Lawn (across from the Carousel Village), following Food Truck Friday; see a Park map.  Bring a blanket and chair and pack a picnic, or arrive early to grab dinner at Food Truck Friday!

Presented in partnership with the Providence Children’s Film Festival, the Providence Parks Department, & the Providence Department of Arts, Culture, and Tourism.  Questions? Email [email protected]. For event updates, follow the Roger Williams Park Conservancy on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

July 7      Jurassic Park (1993) PG 13   Sunset is @8:20 pm
After being persuaded by a wealthy businessman to conduct an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen’s second site for a failed Jurassic Park experiment, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) discovers the true reason for his invitation. A tragic accident maroons the party of seven, and they must attempt to escape with their lives.

August 4th      Ice Age (2002) PG  Sunset is @8:00 pm
Twenty-thousand years ago, Earth is a wondrous, prehistoric world filled with great danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. To avoid a really bad frostbite, the planet’s majestic creatures – and a few small, slothful ones – begin migrating south . The story revolves around sub-zero heroes: a woolly mammoth, a saber-toothed tiger, a sloth and a prehistoric combination of a squirrel and rat that is known as Scrat.

September 1st     Strange World (2022) PG  Sunset is @7:20 pm

The film follows a legendary family of explorers, the Clades (Gyllenhaal, Quaid, Young-White, and Union), who must set aside their differences as they embark on a journey to a mysterious subterranean land inhabited by surreal lifeforms, in order to save a miracle plant Pando that is their society’s source of energy.
