Coco follows Miguel, a boy who dreams of playing guitar and ends up in the Land of the Dead seeking his ancestors' blessing, a story that fits the lead-up to Día de los Muertos. It is the last Movies Under the Stars date NYC Parks currently lists, a late-season send-off for the free program. If you have kids, a blanket and a free evening, bring all three.
What to expect
Families spread out on blankets at the playground as the film starts at dusk, with the event running roughly two and a half hours from the listed start. There is no registration, and the city's rules bar glass bottles and alcohol.
Good to know
