The open-air cinema series Movies on the Plaza picks up this Friday, May 22, at Downtown Albuquerque’s Civic Plaza. From 4 to 8pm, food trucks will gather around the Plaza as part of ABQ Food Fridays. Come early and get some grub. The film will start at sunset. Admission is free. Seating is limited, and guests are encouraged to bring their own portable seats, blankets and lawn chairs. Parking is available underneath Civic Plaza for a small fee. This week’s film is Disney’s animated classic The Little Mermaid. This is the sing-along version, and everyone is encouraged to raise their voices (particularly during “Under the Sea”). Next Friday (May 29) you can catch The Goonies. Movies on the Plaza screenings will switch to Wednesday throughout June to make room for Shakespeare on the Plaza. (All outdoor shows are, of course, subject to weather.) For a complete listing of future events, go to civicplazapresents.com.
