Free Friday Flicks at the Hatch Shell

Event Details

Spread a blanket on the Esplanade lawn as the Charles River glows pink at dusk and a family blockbuster lights up the iconic Hatch Shell. Games and giveaways start at 6 PM and the film rolls at sundown, all free and open to all. The 2026 slate leans kid-friendly with titles like Minecraft (July 17) and the live-action How to Train Your Dragon (Aug 7).
