This year is the fifth season of the Movies on the Lawn program hosted by Councilman Mark Cuthbertson and the Town of Huntington and once again this year, the line up will have something for everyone to enjoy.

The inflatable blow up ‘drive-in' screen will be the screen for all outdoor performances. Equipped with twelve surround sound speakers, this set up will accommodate many, many moviegoers for maximum viewing and listening enjoyment.

"This is great family entertainment. Pack up your picnic supper, blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy this summer's movie line-up," said Cuthbertson. It is suggested that you pack lawn chairs, even for the drive-in performances, in the event the drive in lot fills early. Overflow parking is available and bus service brings people and their belongings to the beach.

The schedule starts with a ‘lawn performance' at Dix Hills Park on June 30th. This natural amphitheater setting (by the pool parking lot) will feature the BEE MOVIE (Rated PG). This computer animated movie stars Jerry Seinfeld as the voice of Barry B. Benson, a young bee eager to explore the world outside of his hive. See what happens as he discovers how people live.

On July 17th there will be a drive in at Crab Meadow Beach, featuring SURF'S UP (Rated PG). This laid back, visually stunning animated movie brings a fresh twist to some familiar conventions. Its witty format is fun and inventive and the soundtrack, which includes a number of past pop hits, adds a real nice touch. In addition to the surround sound speakers, those parked in the drive in section will have the opportunity to tune into a special channel for sound broadcast through their car radios. Popcorn will be provided courtesy of LaCasa Café.

Back to the lawn on August 4th at Huntington's beautiful Heckscher Park. "This is our classic movie night and we are asking people to VOTE FOR THE CLASSIC MOVIE they would like to see that night," said Cuthbertson. The choices are (all original versions): West Side Story, Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein; Casablanca; Yankee Doodle Dandy; North by Northwest. Vote by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your choice before July 12th.

At the grand finale, John Travolta is just one of the stars featured in comedy hit HAIR SPRAY (Rated PG). Get out your classic car and join us at our old-fashioned drive in movie at Crabmeadow Beach on Thursday, August 21st. This movie also has a great sound track that you'll want to sing and dance to and once again, popcorn will be provided courtesy of LaCasa Café.

All movies begin at darkness. In the event of inclement weather, performances will be held indoors at ELWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL Auditorium, Elwood Road and begin at 7:30 pm. Check the website for up to date information on performances: http://town.huntington.ny.us or call Councilman Mark Cuthbertson at 631-351-3112.
