This is the rescheduled date from August 5, due to high heat advisory and threat of thunderstorms.

The Roger Williams Park Conservancy is excited to present First Friday Films in Roger Williams Park as part of our celebration of Roger Williams Park’s 150th Birthday! These free, family-friendly events take place on Friday evenings at sunset on the Boathouse Lawn (across from the Carousel Village), following Food Truck Friday; see a Park map.

June 3          Night At the Museum (2006)
A newly recruited night security guard at the Museum of Natural History discovers that an ancient curse causes the animals and exhibits on display to come to life and wreak havoc.

July 1        Life of Pi (2012)
A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor: a fearsome Bengal tiger.

August 12     Super 8 (2011)
During the summer of 1979, a group of friends witness a train crash and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town.

September 2      Raya and the Last Dragon (2018)
In a realm known as Kumandra, a re-imagined Earth inhabited by an ancient civilization, a warrior named Raya is determined to find the last dragon.

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. Financial support comes from the Providence Parks Department, Providence Department of Arts, Culture, and Tourism, the Rhode Island Foundation, and hundreds of individuals, foundations, and corporations.
