Friday Finds

In this week’s Friday Finds: It’s your chance to see a classic 80s movie outdoors, see a classic 80s rock band perform, and learn where you can take your children to a place where they can have fun and mom and dad can have a Friday night to themselves.

Back to the Future

What’s summertime without a free outdoor movie? Come to the lawn at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Woodbridge for a showing of the 1980s classic “Back to the Future” and watch the teenage hero Marty McFly meet his parents when they were in high school in the 1950s, dance with a younger version of his mother at the high school dance, and with the help of a wild-eyed scientist, get back home to the year 1985.

Those who come are encouraged to bring their lawn chair or blanket, to 1400 G Street in Woodbridge.

Refreshments will be served, with the proceeds going to support the church’s mission fund.

Showtime is 8 p.m.

You can call 703-494-2445 for more information.
