Please join us for a night of free family fun on Sunday, August 21st!

Midwood Development Corp. presents Amazing Midwood: Movie & Family Fun Night, from 6-10 pm. Come out to Avenue M, between East 13th and East 15th streets, which will be closed to traffic.

The 1985 sci-fi classic “Back to the Future,” starring Michael J. Fox, will be shown at 8:30 pm.

Visit the Midwood Movie History Pop-Up Museum!
Did you know that Midwood was home to the first modern movie studio in the U.S.? For over 100 years, countless films and TV shows were produced in Midwood — silent comedies, early musicals, iconic TV specials, variety shows, series, and soap operas — all made right here! The Midwood Movie History Pop-Up Museum invites visitors to  share, listen, learn, collect, and connect to this incredible neighborhood history. We’ll also record and archive your own memories of Midwood entertainment history, so come ready to share!

The evening will also feature games and attractions for kids, including a giant slide, a bounce house, face painters, balloon clown, and other family fun. Please follow our Facebook event page for updates — we’ll see you on Avenue M!
