Is there anything better than watching movies outside under the stars on a warm summer night? Maybe only if they were free, right? Well, you’re in luck! Columbus is filled with free, outdoor summer movies. Plus, you don’t even need to sneak in the snacks because they suggest bringing your own! Make sure to bring a blanket and/or chair, too.
