One of the best parts about living in the DC metro area is seeing everything come back to life after a long winter. Spring is in full swing and that means outdoor movie nights are back! Most of them free or cost a low fee. Grab your popcorn and blankets/chairs (don’t forget the bug spray!) for a night out at the movies.
