Friday Night Drive-In Movies At Duke Island Park

Posted by Rich Reitman

 

Pack a picnic basket, put the kids in their pajamas, pile everyone into the DeSoto (or the minivan), and head over to Duke Island Park on Old York Road in Bridgewater for the Somerset County Park Commission Drive-In Movies. Take the family back in time with drive-in movies just like in the 50's - complete with large screen, refreshments, and popcorn. Admission is free.

The 15th annual family event is scheduled for three consecutive Fridays, July 18, July 25, and August 1, 2014 with the show beginning at 8:30 P.M. each night. The films will be presented under the stars on a big screen in the Duke Island Park Band Shell.
