5&V: Outdoor Movies Return To Downtown
Grab a lawn chair and head down to the 5 & V - downtown Burlington's outdoor theater!
Four great movies will be shown on the side of Drake Hardware and Software at Fifth and Valley Streets this summer. There's no admission for the events, though donations are accepted. The movies will start at dusk - but be sure to come down early and pick out a choice spot (spots will be marked with chalk to follow social distancing guidelines). There will be snack and drinks available, too.
Due to inclement weather, The Incredibles and Raya and the Last Dragon have had date changes:
Friday, July 09 The Incredibles
Saturday, July 31 Cars
Friday, August 6 The Lorax
Saturday, August 7 Raya and the Last Dragon
Check the Downtown Burlington, Iowa page on Facebook for updates in case of inclement weather. Downtown Partners thanks Drake Hardware and Software and Elks Lodge #84 for making the 5 & V Downtown Cinema possible.
