Boise, Idaho: Free Outdoor Movies Every Friday Night at Settler's Park in Boise, Idaho

I have fond memories of going to the drive-in as a kid — not a frequent outing for our family, but just enough to make an impression. The last outdoor movie I ever saw at a drive-in was Savannah Smiles; my folks took us because a family friend had worked on the film. I still remember driving down Fairview Avenue at night and craning my neck to see what was showing at the ol’ FairVu drive-in.

What is it about watching outdoor movies? Instead of high-quality digital sound and high definition, you get mosquitos and a rinky-dink speaker, and people sitting in your sightline on top of their cars. Somehow, it’s just fun.

If you’re in the mood for a family film and an evening out, head to Settler’s Park any Friday through the end of August. This Friday: Nancy Drew. Upcoming films include Flushed Away, The Water Horse, and The Bee Movie. And yes — it’s free. Bring blankets and bug spray.
