Looks like another fantastic month of Movies in the Park with St. Pete Preservation, with an added bonus for the oft-neglected west side of the 'Burg: a fifth, early movie at Sunset Park (at the corner of Central Ave. and Park St.) as part of the Central Ave. solstice event.

The solstice film, Big, takes place on Saturday. The rest of the films will run as scheduled at North Straub Park. Music starts at 6 p.m. and the movies start at sundown. 

Here's what St. Pete Preservation presents for your viewing pleasure:
