Enjoy Summer Drive-in Movie at Duke Island Park

Free movies scheduled for Friday evening.

By Linda Sadlouskos

Each week, Patch's Great Escape column will suggest something for you to do to take time for yourself, or relax with family and friends. 

This week, we'll let you know that you can pack a picnic basket, put the kids in their pajamas, and pile everyone into the DeSoto (or minivan or convertible), and head over to Duke Island Park in Bridgewater for the Somerset County Park Commission's summer Drive-In Movies. 

Admission is free.

The 14th annual family event is scheduled for July 26 with the show beginning at 8:30 p.m.. The film will be presented under the stars on a big screen in the Duke Island Park Band Shell. The park is off Old York Road.
  • July 26 — Rango — PG

Rango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff. 

Moviegoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, for an enjoyable evening of family entertainment under the stars. A call to 908-722-1200, ext. 351, will provide weather updates during the evening prior to the show.
