The Boston Red Sox announced today that Fenway Park will host “Movie Night at Fenway Park,” presented by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, on Tuesday, July 2, featuring the 1977 classic, Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope. Movie Night at Fenway Park is an opportunity for families to enjoy a blockbuster film at the ballpark on a summer evening. Prior to the ticketed screening of Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope, families are invited to enjoy a Star Wars themed celebration in the Gate A concourse.
Tickets for Movie Night are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Children ages 2 and under are free. Fans can purchase movie tickets at redsox.com/movienight. The event is free for Red Sox Season Ticket Holders.
Prior to the movie screening, a Star Wars themed celebration will be held in the Gate A Concourse that will be transformed into a desert spaceport with cosplayers, photo ops, and fun surprises. Fans are encouraged to wear their favorite Star Wars costumes, but for fan safety, masks or helmets that cover the face will not be allowed. Free lightsabers will be provided to the first 7,000 fans in attendance. Concessions will be available.
To ensure the best viewing on the 40 by 100-foot videoboard, fans in attendance will be seated in the lower seating bowl and down the first base line. Fenway Park gates will open at 6:15 p.m. and the movie will begin at 7:30 p.m.
