Movie nights, art in the open, BYOD, and bourbon…it’s what to do this weekend

Movie Nights start up again this weekend.

Thursday: Movie Nights

Enjoy a free night of entertainment under the stars on the Banks by the Walnut Street Bridge!

Bring your friends, blanket and picnic basket for a great time watching viewer’s choice movies by the river. All movies start at dusk (approximately 8:30 pm on June 14). Come early to participate in a free pre-movie raffle for prizes from Philadelphia Runner. Snacks and beverages, provided by Dranoff Properties’ Locust on the Park and Left Bank, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The 2012 Schuylkill Banks Movie Series is presented by CSX. View the full series schedule here.

Friday: Art in the Open

Art in the Open: the Exhibition, is a collaboration between Art in the Open and the Seaport Museum to present works from artists who participated in the 2012 Art in the Open event. Located in the Museum’s 2nd floor Community Gallery, this is the second presentation in the Community Gallery series, which features guest curators working in partnership with the Museum to present exhibitions with different waterfront or maritime topics specific to the Philadelphia region.

This event is free with museum admission.

Saturday: Bring Your Own Dog

Chef Guillermo Tellez of Square 1682 is bringing back his BYOD weekend brunch. That’s Bring Your Own Dog for those not in-the-know, on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The BYOD menu includes five canine-fabulous dishes for dogs to enjoy on the patio or to-go, including Lola’s Bowl with beef tartare, raw egg, cooked rice and carrots and Yodi’s Chow with chicken, steal cut oats, seasonal vegetables, white beans and cheddar, all of which were named after a Square 1682 (or adjacent Hotel Palomar) staffer’s pet.

Accompanying each dish will be a bowl of filtered Natura water and an organic treat from Doggie Style and for every canine meal sold, $1 will go to Operation Ava, which will be on site from 11 a.m.-3 p.m with adoptable pets and fun.

Sunday: Father’s Day

Treat pops to a burger and bourbon at Village Whiskey. Read all about it in our post about the Father’s Day special.
