UPCOMING:
“HAIRSPRAY”
Friday, June 5, at sunset
Food Truck Friday!
Roger Williams Park Boathouse Lawn
It’s the 1960s in Baltimore when dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad auditions for a spot on “The Corny Collins Show” and wins! She becomes an overnight celebrity, a trendsetter in dance, fun and fashion. Perhaps her new status as a teen sensation is enough to topple Corny’s reigning dance queen and bring racial integration to the show. This star studded cast includes John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Alison Janney, Brittany Snow, James Marsden and Nikki Blonsky as Tracy.
Get ready to dance!
2007, Running time 116 minutes, Rated PG
Directed by Adam Shankman
“SING”
Friday, July 3, at sunset
Food Truck Friday!
Roger Williams Park Boathouse Lawn
Set in a world entirely inhabited by animals, SING stars Buster Moon (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey), a Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist and sets out to save his theater with a singing competition. Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse who croons as smoothly as he cons (Seth MacFarlane), a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an exhausted mother (Academy Award-winner Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson).
Get ready to SING along with all of the hit songs!
2016, Running time 108 minutes, Rated PG
Directed by Garth Jennings and Christophe Lourdelet
“Let’s Get Animated!”
Thursday, July 9, at sunset
On Waterfire Night!
Bally’s Event Lawn at 195 District Park
The night is going to be hopping with PCFF’s most requested shorts reel, “Let’s Get Animated!” A veritable delight of cinematic treasures to enjoy with the family, featuring 2026 Festival award winners. Whether animated digitally or painstakingly created using stop motion, animation IS magic. Giving inanimate objects the illusion of being alive can be extraordinary. A felted wool hamster, hand painted owls and a tooth brush are just a few of the unusual materials “brought to life” this year on this truly multi-national reel.
2023-2025, Running Time 75 minutes, Ages 8+, Multi-national

Food Truck Friday AND Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus!
Roger Williams Park Boathouse Lawn
Join us for the first outdoor screening and first Food Truck Friday of the season! Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus will be giving us a teaser of their upcoming circus performances! Don’t miss their thrilling acrobatics during a very special pre-film performance!
The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Zendaya, celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. Growing up in the early 1800s, P.T. Barnum displays a natural talent for publicity and promotion, and turns to show business to indulge his limitless imagination, rising from nothing to create the Barnum & Bailey circus. With musical numbers, exotic performers and daring acrobatic feats, Barnum’s mesmerizing spectacle soon takes the world by storm to become the greatest show on Earth.
