Let the breeze off the Hudson River cool you down on hot summer nights this season. Hudson RiverFlicks is back in Hudson River Park this summer, bringing New Yorkers and visitors together to bask in the great outdoors while relaxing with their favorite films on the big screen.

Sponsored by Viacom, Hudson RiverFlicks makes sure there are options for everyone! First, Hudson RiverFlicks: Big Hit Wednesdays offers all your favorite movies from the last year-and this time, they're all FREE. Hidden Figures, action figures, superheroes and Oscar winners, Hudson River Park gives you one more chance to see your favorite blockbusters from 2016 on the big screen!

Then, Hudson RiverFlicks: Family Fridays are BACK at Hudson River Park's Pier 46 and features recent favorites (like Kubo and the Two Strings and Sing) as well as classic movies (like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and The Karate Kid) for the whole family to enjoy.
