PHILLY CAR SHARE PRESENTS: BBC's PLANET EARTH / THE PRINCESS BRIDE
So what if they lost the city contract to a competitor? Any company that brings in live music, local artisans and The Princess Bride is okay in our book. Sit on some of that green grass (actual condition of grass at location may vary). You'll all be very glad to know that the movie version of everyone's favorite tale of "true love and high adventure" will turn 21 in September. In the mean time, though, go watch it at the banks of the Schuykill Banks, underneath the Walnut Street Bridge. You can also catch some of the amazing footage the BBC caught for their award-winning series. Bring a blanket and enjoy free refreshments while you watch what PhillyCarShare is calling a drive-in. It's actually a sit-in, but who wants to imply a protest when you're just trying to get some quality time outside and watch an incredible 80s movie? Not us!
WHO: Anyone! Great for families and couples.
WHERE: Schuykill Banks, 25th & Walnut; see their map here.
WHEN: 8:15pm, but show up early for live music, artisans, etc.
HOW MUCH: Free!
