Like most people, I prefer to spend most of my summer evenings outside. I’ll take the dog for a walk at dusk, bike along Kelly Drive, have dinner at an outdoor table with my friends, or simply explore parts of the city I’ve never seen before.

   Summer is my favorite time of the year, and I want to make the most of this fabulous season.

   This summer, Philadelphia is hosting a plethora of events that will help you make this a summer to remember. Why not spend the warm summer evenings under the stars with the silver screen? Penn’s Landing will transform its Great Plaza into a unique, outdoor theater for yet another season of "Screening Under the Stars." Beginning in June, and every Thursday night at promptly 8:30 p.m., a different movie will be featured.

   And the best part about this whole thing? The event is free!

   So round up your gaggle of girlfriends or call that cute guy you’ve been eyeing up at your local coffee shop and ask him out on a date. Have fun this summer on a budget and enjoy the show!
