“Moana” is at multiple locations throughout the summer. Disney
Let’s face it. There’s only so many movies on streaming devices you can see this summer and sometimes, hopefully often, you’re going to want to leave the house. Austin’s incredibly lucky because we have multiple free to little-cost movie options that include recent movies as well as classics.
Check out our list:
- Sound and Cinema. Watch a movie and hear a concert at the same time on the lawn of the Long Center. 6 p.m. June 21, June 28, July 19 and July 26. Movies to be announced. The Long Center, 701 W. Riverside Drive. thelongcenter.org
