PrintChicago Outdoor Film Festival Editorial Review
In Short
Outdoor cinema generally means drive-ins, but not at this event. Seven classic films will be shown at the city's annual Outdoor Film Festival. The films start just after sunset (between 8 and 9pm) every Tuesday from mid-July to the end of August at Butler Field at Monroe Street and Lake Shore Drive. Admission is free, so you won't have to sneak Junior in the cooler.

Insider Tips
Rain or shine, the show goes on. But if there's lightning, the movie will be stopped, and there won't be any rescheduling.
Pack a blanket, homemade popcorn, your sweetheart and hankies. No pets or alcoholic beverages are allowed.
