On Wednesdays, starting June 22, La Peg at FringeArts will screen movies outdoor in the beer garden. The Louis Bluver Outdoor Movie Series, which is a free event, will run through Sept. 7.

A seafood shack pop-up will be open in the beer garden for attendees to grab a meal, or all are welcome to head inside La Peg before or after the movie for a full dinner.

Each screening begins at 8:30 p.m., with seating in the beer garden available on a first-come, first-served basis. The movie schedule for the summer is broken down into themes.
