COVINGTON, KY - The smell of freshly popped popcorn and a sea of picnic blankets can mean only one thing: The beginning of outdoor movie season.

 

Families will have seven opportunities to catch free kid-friendly outdoor movies in three different locations this year, all beginning at dusk. Movie goers will receive free popcorn and options to buy concessions at a minimal cost. Carpooling is recommended.

 

Devou Summer Movie Series: Movies return to the park the last Friday of each month, beginning Friday. The series is sponsored by the Devou Good Project and CORA, the Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance.

 

"We're excited to have the movies back in Devou, and the bandshell offers a perfect setting for families to make memories and enjoy natural greenspaces close to home," said Covington Recreation Program Coordinator Erin Smiley.

 

 

Cinema in the Cemetery: The City is partnering with three groups - Friends of Peaselburg, Linden Grove Cemetery & Arboretum and the Center for Great Neighborhoods - to show movies in Linden Grove. Last year, more than 1,500 people came out in October to see a spooky Halloween-edition showing of Hocus Pocus.

 

"Some people think cemeteries are creepy, but whether you're watching a movie or doing yoga, the beautiful, park-like setting of Linden Grove is an amazing place to enjoy the summer months while celebrating the history of our amazing community," said Lisa Jarboe, a Peaselburg community member and founder of Cinema in the Cemetery.
