5 Outdoor Movie Nights You DON’T Want to Miss
I hate to be the one to say it, but here it is: summer is winding down. For those of you who love turtlenecks, PSLs, and have been counting the days until school’s back in session, this is exciting news. But for those of us who only feel alive when it’s 20 degrees or higher… this. is. tragic. (And yes, I’m crying with you.)
With just over a week left in August, now’s the time to soak up every last bit of Birkenstock weather and squeeze in those outdoor activities. And what better activity than an outdoor movie night? Check out the venues below to see which one fits your taste and schedule!
