Get ready to catch an outdoor movie this month in Kent.

The city of Kent’s Summer Nights and the Silver Screen returns to Town Square Plaza, Second Avenue and Harrison Street, with three free movies on Friday nights in August.

Movier goers must bring their own chairs to set up at the plaza. No seats will be provided. There is a small grass area where people can spread blankets. The movies go on rain or shine.

An inflatable screen will be placed in the northwest corner of the park and face toward the fountains.

Kent Summer Concerts are presented by Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the Kent Arts Commission, with the support of local sponsors.
