Wednesday Movie Night: One "Big Night" Can Change Everything!
Our fourth summer season of FREE movie screenings in the Garden continues with Big Night.

Movie Night: Big Night (1996) — Wednesday, Aug. 10, 8 p.m.

In this award-winning American film, two brothers who have emigrated from Italy to the Jersey shore in the 1950s to open an Italian restaurant in America gamble on one special night — a feast of a lifetime, the brothers' big night — to try to save their failing business.

Directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci

Movie Nights are family-friendly events where neighbors meet with one another and have a great time. The Garden will remain open through the evening, so come, cool down, bring a blanket, picnic, cozy up and sink in!
