As fall weather finally makes its appearance, the warm nights are coming to an end, and so is the inaugural Rooftop Cinema series.
Held atop the parking deck at the corner of Sixth and Scott streets, the final screening of the season is set for Monday, Oct. 21, with the original “Beetlejuice” coming to the big screen. (Before the latest announcement, the event had originally been set to screen “Ghostbusters” on Oct. 24.)
The showing is free and will begin at dusk, or about 7:20 p.m. All you have to do is head downtown and upstairs to watch the Tim Burton magic take place surrounded by the city skyline, just as nature intended.
Filmgoers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to spread out under the stars, plus water and beer from Stone’s Throw Brewing will be available for purchase.
The series finale is also hosted in tandem with Pedal Party, a local bike-riding meetup inviting the public to a pre-movie ride beginning at Fassler Hall at 6 p.m.
Hosted by the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, Rooftop Cinema is the latest evolution of Movies in the Park. It debuted last fall and held a handful of screenings before launching its monthly summertime series. No word yet on if it will return next summer, but we’ve got our ghostly fingers crossed.
