Rhythms & Reels 2018: a full lineup of free movies and concerts

In its third year, the popular Rhythms & Reels is a collaborative community program of free movies and concerts.

Whoever said “The best things in life are free,” must have been thinking about the Baltimore City Recreation and Parks department, which provides  affordable, year-round leisure and recreational activities for citizens of all ages and abilities. Facilities include 262 parks, 120+ playgrounds, 170 athletic fields, 110 tennis courts, 101 basketball courts, 18 picnic groves, 12 pavilion groves, 3 dog parks, 25+ miles of biking and hiking trails, and 32 historic structures.

During the summer, activities at the parks don’t end when the sun goes down.    In 2018, there are 145 family-friendly events on the program in 36 Baltimore locations through October.  View and print the entire schedule here.
