A free screening of the film classic, “The Wizard of Oz” will take place in Colonel Marcus Park in Gravesend this Sunday, June 29, thanks to council members David Greenfield and Mark Treyger, who are jointly presenting the movie showing.
The screening will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the park, located at Avenue P and East 5th Street. Residents are invited to bring chairs and blankets to sit on.
Greenfield, who has sponsored free movie events in other parks during previous summers, said he is looking forward to Sunday. “I am excited to bring our annual Family Movie in the Park to the Midwood and Gravesend neighborhoods this Sunday. I look forward to seeing many families and children at this event,” Greenfield said.
“This is a great chance for residents to come together and enjoy a classic film in a great setting at Colonel Marcus Park. My thanks to the New York City Parks Department and Council Member Greenfield for their help organizing this free event right in our neighborhood. The entire community is invited, so please spread the word and bring your family, friends, and neighbors with you on Sunday,” Treyger said.
