Event Details

"Just as things grow fast in movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer" (F. Scott Fitzgerald). After a brutal New York winter, the 2026 Movies in the Square lineup features movies that celebrate the joy of a summer spent outside. With iconic scenes that take place on the hot streets of NYC, classics that transport viewers to Greece and Italy, and an opening movie with a nod to the World Cup, this year’s movies invite us to get outside and enjoy the summer!

THE LINEUP

4PM: The Sandlot (1993)

"Remember, kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong."

PG, 1h41m

In the summer of 1962, a new kid in town is taken under the wing of a young baseball prodigy and his rowdy team, resulting in many adventures.

+ During the screening, A Rosie Day will guide participants in an art activity related to the movie on screen! Suitable for all ages.

A Rosie Day at Movie Night: The Sandlot:

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die, and neither do summer memories made together! Join A Rosie Day for hands-on making during the movie. Kids can design a keepsake baseball to treasure, then invent and build with gears and upcycled materials at our Makers Station, inspired by the kids of the Sandlot and their over-the-top plans to rescue Babe Ruth's ball! And if things get a little messy, hop over to the Domino fountain right next to us at the Square for a rinse! All ages welcome, come make a beautiful mess with us!

"Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?"
