The Frugal Bostonian

The summer is upon us, and so are free movies!  The Hatch Shell has free flicks most Fridays at dusk (they have some entertaining contests for kids in the hour or so leading up to the movie).  Movies are family friendly, although the Hatch Shell schedule seems to be gearing a bit less to the youngest kids.

The Prudential Center will have free flicks on most Saturdays at dusk starting July 17th.  There are also free flicks at Jamaica Pond.

If you go, bring:

• a folding/collapsible chair or something to sit on
• bug spray
• snacks (everyone else will be eating, there’s food available, but a bit expensive)
• there are always a few dogs sitting around, so bring your well-behaved dog (dog needs to sit on your blanket and watch the movie, not wander around looking for food).

Here’s the scheduled for the Hatch Shell, the schedule for the Prudential Center doesn’t seem to be posted yet.
