WCCB Charlotte reports that Movies in the Park kicks off this month, bringing free outdoor movies to Fourth Ward Park every Friday evening. Bring the entire family, all of your friends, or your significant other to enjoy classic films in the city. There will be local food trucks for food options for everyone to enjoy.
