SUMMARY:Cinematery: National Treasure
DESCRIPTION:Postponed to July 24.\nDue to the unhealthy air-quality conditions caused by Canadian wildfire smoke\, tonight’s Cinematery screening has been postponed to our scheduled rain date of Friday\, July 24. Ticket holders should look out for an email containing more information.\n__________________________________________ \nAre you ready for adventure at Congressional Cemetery? While we may not have any hidden masonic treasure in the cemetery (or so you think)\, we hope you’ll still join us for a Cinematery screening of National Treasure\, happening Friday\, July 17th! Bring your family\, friends\, and partners in crime for this history filled adventure! \nThe rain date will be July 24th. \nFeel free to bring your own beverages and food. Alcohol is permitted and will also be for sale. Keep in mind that all guests will be ID checked upon entry. We also recommend bringing your own blankets\, low lying lawn chairs\, etc. Please do NOT bring chairs that may obstruct the view of those behind you. Dogs are not permitted at Cinematery. \nTickets on sale May 29th\nGates open about an hour before sunset and the movie begins at sunset. The doors open at 7:30 pm. \nWhy the ticket price has changed from last year? This price reflects new Licensing agreements which require a larger revenue split with production companies when showing their movies. This means we have to update the pricing for Cinematery to maintain our goal of raising funds for the cemetery while engaging the community. We have also upgraded our screen to ensure everyone can better see the film! \n——————————————————— \nWant more Cinematery? Don’t forget to check out Cinematery: Jurassic Park! Happening September 11th! \n———————————————————- \nA special thank you to our Cinematery sponsor\, Fulcrum Residential\, for popping the popcorn!\n \n  \n
