Grab your friends and favorite cozy blanket, and join us at Wellfleet Preservation Hall for classic and newly released films. The series will run for four weeks and include the following films: The Birdcage(1996), The Way We Were (1973), The Fabelmans (2022),and Top Gun (1986).

Your host Mia will begin each screening with an explanation as to why she selected the film. There will be free snacks available! All ages are welcome; however, in an effort to encourage more young attendees (Gen Z), the series is free for people under 21 and $12 for those who are 21+.

A generous grant from the Mass Cultural Council supports the Spring Movie Series hosted by Mia.
