Crystal Screen

The Crystal City BID hosts a free outdoor film festival every Monday in the summer. With the help of Moonflicks, a courtyard in Crystal City is transformed into a movie theater. There is no better place to meet friends, bring a picnic, and enjoy an evening under the stars. Past themes have included By the Numbers (number-related movies), Star Trek, and Superheroes. We'll see you Monday night!
