Wheaton's Downtown Summer Series Starts This Friday
Along with musical acts this summer, kid-friendly movies will play on some Fridays.
Last summer, Wheaton's summer series was less a series and more an event. Budget cutbacks meant that , in late August, graced the patch of grass near Parking Lot 13.
The outdoor concert series is back, but now it's expanded to something a bit different. Movies for the whole family will play, screen-on-the-green style, on some Fridays, while musical acts will play on other Fridays. All events start at 7 p.m.
And the Nighthawks are back too. Here's the entire summer schedule:
