Free Outdoor movies have become part of Vancouver’s summertime tradition. Last year, we saw a lot more movies screened outdoors throughout Metro Vancouver and it’s making a comeback for 2013! Vancity Buzz’s comprehensive list for summer 2013 is categorized by location and municipality, and will be updated with the specific time, location, and movie titles as soon as they are announced. So, make sure to bookmark this and keep checking back with us! And remember to bring a blanket, lawn chair and some snacks.
