Family-friendly and free, each movie is presented by one of The Gateway’s numerous dining, shopping and entertainment merchants. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to participate in the presenting merchants’ giveaways, games and contests. Bring a blanket and to-go food from one of The Gateway’s many restaurants. Popcorn is free and beer will be for sale to those 21 and over (ID required). The plaza opens for seating at 7:30 p.m. and movies begin at sunset.
