Beach It (And Watch Movies For Free)

People who live on the beach know are likely to agree with the old adage that some of the best things in life are free. In Miami Beach that includes some great classic movies, outdoors at the site of the New World Syphony space each Wed night.

The FREE SoundScape Cinema Series is presented generously by the Marilyn and Edward Gadinsky Charitable Foundation and held at the new Miami Beach SoundScape ExoStage, corner of 17 Street and Washington Avenue.  Movies begin at 8:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

The outdoor viewing space uses state of the art visual and audio technology on a soaring, 7,000-square-foot projection wall.  Bring   a blanket, a bottle of wine and your own popcorn and snack to fully enjoy a wonderful night under the stars.

It’s not all about the movies, either. There’s amazing music, too. New World Symphony Wallcast™ Concerts allow you to experience select events throughout the season. Visit the What’s On The Wall page at NewWorldCenter.com to see the schedule for these free public concerts.

Here’s the list of upcoming titles through May 2014.  For more info and future schedules visit MBCulture.com.
