For those in and around Ferndale looking for a low-key, fun community event, free outdoor movies have returned to downtown Ferndale before the end of summer.
Hundreds have been gathering since 2013 for the event known as "Get Reel – Outdoor Movies on Vester Street" hosted by the Downtown Development Authority.
Coming up, "Ghostbusters" will show on Aug. 17 and "Pretty in Pink" will show on Sept. 21.
Moviegoers are invited to pick a spot on Vester Street, which is one block north of Nine Mile Road just east of Woodward Avenue to set up their lawn chairs or blankets starting at 6 p.m. Pre-movie entertainment featuring Axis Music Academy starts at 8 p.m. Tommy Titan, the University of Detroit Mercy mascot, will stop by to socialize. Showtime is around 9 p.m. when it starts to get dark.
According to the DDA, the outdoor event creates a neighborhood atmosphere were people get together to socialize in the street before the movie begins while enjoying food and drinks. No glass containers are allowed at the event, but picnic food and non-alcoholic drinks are encouraged.
