Free showing of E.T. at Duck Samford Park | Arts & Culture

AUBURN, AL - Auburn Parks and Recreation's brand new Outdoor Summer Movie Series continues on Friday, June 29 with a showing of Steven Spielberg's "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial." Enjoy free movies for the whole family on select Friday evenings this summer at Duck Samford Park - Field 1 at 8:30 p.m. Admission is free to the public. Moviegoers are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair and a picnic (no alcohol or glass containers) and relax with the whole family. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase on-site.

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, "E.T." is the 1982 family film about a meek and alienated little boy who finds a stranded extraterrestrial and defies authorities by helping the alien return to his planet.
