Coco's music and marigold-orange Land of the Dead look great on a big outdoor screen, and it lands just as Hispanic Heritage Month is in full swing. This free NYC Parks screening is set in a Sunnyside playground, so it is truly a neighborhood movie night. If you have kids and a blanket, it is an easy win.

What to expect

Neighbors gather in the playground as it gets dark, and the film rolls at dusk. Heavy rain can cancel the screening, with notice on the Parks website. Expect lots of kids, early arrivals claiming spots near the screen, and a relaxed, neighborly atmosphere.

Good to know

  • 7 train stops in Sunnyside are a short walk
  • Bring a blanket or folding chairs
  • Glass bottles and alcohol are prohibited
  • Rated PG
  • Check nyc.gov/parks for weather cancellations
