Elizabeth City Downtown Inc. Summer Happenings

Tuesday evenings in the spring and summer come alive on the downtown Elizabeth City waterfront with Elizabeth City Downtown Inc.’s Summer Movies & Music Series at Mariners’ Wharf Park. Starting in June you can enjoy a classic movie at the park on Tuesday evenings beginning at 8:30 pm. Movies considered “oldies but goodies” are chosen from the 1930’s through the 1960’s and shown on the big screen, drive-in movie style. "Many think the classics are boring, but they have really intricate plot lines and are pretty entertaining. A classic movie can be a refreshing change," says Deborah Malenfant of ECDI. The official film season is every Tuesday in June and July. Because evening thunderstorms become the norm this time of year, rain-outs are to be expected. Up to two rain dates are scheduled. The remaining film schedule for this year is:

July 11 - Camille

July 18- The Quiet Man

July 25 - Citizen Kane

August 1 (rain date) – Easy Living

August 8 (rain date) –Lilies of the Field

The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Parks & Recreation Department wants to be sure kids have the opportunity for some movie entertainment, as well. They host kid-friendly movies on the third Friday night of the months of June, July, and August, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Hot dogs are cooked up by the Sheriff’s Dept, the Fire Dept hosts a temporary splash pad, and movies/popcorn are available to buy. The remaining Kids Flix movie lineup includes:

July 21- Little Giants

Aug. 18 - Dolphin Tale
