Mayor Walsh's Movie Night - Sing

Mayor Martin J. Walsh's Movie Nights bring the movie theater experience to a park near you.

August 9, 2017
Event Date2017-08-09T19:30:00

Join us under the stars in Boston Parks to enjoy a movie and popcorn. This series is presented by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department and Northeastern University, in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Tourism, Sports and Entertainment. This movie night will feature the movie "Sing."

About Sing

Dapper Koala Buster Moon presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. An eternal optimist, and a bit of a scoundrel, he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Facing the crumbling of his life's ambition, he takes one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world's greatest singing competition. Five contestants emerge: a mouse, a timid elephant, a pig, a gorilla, and a punk-rock porcupine.

Mayor Walsh's Movie Night - 'Wall-E'

Mayor Martin J. Walsh's Movie Nights bring the movie theater experience to a park near you.

August 7, 2017
Event Date2017-08-07T19:30:00

Join us under the stars in Boston Parks to enjoy a movie and popcorn. This series is presented by the Boston Parks & Recreation Department and Northeastern University, in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Tourism, Sports and Entertainment. This movie night will feature the movie, "Wall-E."

About 'Wall-E'

Disney and Pixar join forces for this computer-animated tale about a wide-eyed robot who travels to the deepest reaches of outer space in search of a newfound friend. The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind. When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there's hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in space, WALL-E can't stand the thought of losing the only friend he's ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.
