Just in time for the Halloween season, free fall movie nights are headed to Limerick Field (1800 Limerick Street) in the rear of AlexRenew headquarters.

A double feature will be presented on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting with Coco at 6 p.m., followed by The Rocky Horror Picture Show at 9 p.m. The movies are being presented by the Eisenhower Partnership, CatRad Creative, and AlexRenew, and water and Wegmans will donate popcorn.

“We’re hosting these free movie nights to give our community the chance to come together, spotlight some amazing Alexandria small businesses, and most importantly, have fun,” Catherine Radachi Chumley, owner of CatRad Creative, said in a release. “We can’t wait to see you at the movies!”

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and dress warmly.

Can’t make it on Oct. 18? At 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, Elf will also be shown at Limerick Field.
