Mobile Movies 2020

Wellesley’s Recreation Department and Youth Commission are offering Mobile Movies in July and August 2020 to provide all residents with activities for a safe summer during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Beginning on Tuesday, July 28, 2020 and running through Monday, August 31, 2020 Wellesley families, teens and senior citizens can watch new releases and favorite classics from the safety of their cars in the Town-owned Tailby parking lot in Wellesley Square. The six-week outdoor movie series is a collaborative effort between local non-profits, businesses and Town of Wellesley departments. 

Mobile Movie Nights are presented by the Kiwanis Club of Wellesley. Public performance licensing for the movies is sponsored by the Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries. Blu Ray DVDs were purchased through the Wellesley Free Library Foundation Centennial Fund, and electricity for the Tailby parking lot is provided by the Wellesley Municipal Light Plant. Deland Gibson Insurance Associates, Inc. is sponsoring the movies more likely to appeal to teens.

Operations and staffing sponsorship is provided by a grant from the Community Fund for Wellesley COVID-19 Relief Fund, an endowed fund of the Foundation for MetroWest, a 501(c)3. Donations to the the Wellesley COVID-19 Relief Fund support a broad range of programs and initiatives that address unmet needs resulting from the ongoing Coronavirus crisis. Continued funding and support for remains critical. To donate to the Wellesley COVID-19 Relief Fund or learn more, visit: www.CFFW-COVID.org
