This is nostalgic small town America… Flagstaff style. Each Saturday and Sunday, families and groups come early to Historic Downtown brick Heritage Square to stakeout their favorite spots to watch an outdoor movie. As they settle-in people are strolling about downtown among the shops, stores, restaurants and nightlife venues.
Kids frolic about, people chat and layout their blankets and folding chairs and munch on treats. As the sun goes down people gather-up to watch the movie projected on a white sheet hung from the side of the Babbit building. It’s always free, sponsored by the Flagstaff Downtown Business Alliance and the outdoor movie is always family-friendly. Now that’s the way to enjoy a show.
This August, the Netflix Rolling Roadshow celebrates classic American movies by screening them in the locations they helped make famous. Each outdoor screening is a special interactive event (think scavenger hunts, road rallies, a high school prom, even spending the night on Alcatraz Island). Some of these open air screenings will also include cast reunions and question-and-answer sessions with the filmmakers.
