During the summer months, open-air concerts and outdoor movies are a Cape Cod tradition!
Families gather at the beach and on the village green to see old favorites like Shrek, ET, The Rookie, and other all-time classics, shown on a big screen under the stars.
It's kind of like a drive-in movie, only better. You're relaxing in your lawn chair, enjoying a Cape Cod summer evening - not packed into a car.
It's great fun, and it's free!

Over the years, I've learned that there are two must-have items for movies at the beach or in the park:
Yep, bug spray is #1 on the list. Here on the Cape, there's about an hour between dusk and full-on darkness when the "no see 'ems" (tiny little bitey gnats) come out in search of sweet-tasting humans.
The best thing I've found to repel them is ... Repel.
It really does the trick to keep the little devils away!
Repel comes in a spray bottle and in wipes. I prefer the wipes because they're easy to carry, and one wipe each keeps my hubby and me bite-free for the entire evening.
We just swipe a wipe across our clothes and exposed skin, and we're all set!
A nice, soft blanket is perfect for movies at the beach because the sand is nice and soft to sit on. But for movies at the park? Well, I'm not a kid anymore. These days, sitting on the ground is just too darn hard on my delicate little bum. ;-)
Here's how we relax comfortably at outdoor movies ...
Enjoy the flick!!
