LOGAN SQUARE — Bring your blankets and picnic baskets to the neighborhood parks.

The 14th annual Movies in the Parks series kicked off citywide May 29, but will have its first screenings in Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Avondale and Hermosa this week.

The series features more than 250 outdoor screenings of current and classic movies in parks across the city, beginning at dusk — weather permitting— according to the Chicago Park District.

Movies in the Park is part of the Night Out in the Parks series, which “provides world-class performances in Chicago’s neighborhood parks throughout the summer” with hundreds of movies, live concerts, festivals and theatrical shows, the park district said.
