Free events in Everett, WA

Back to the Future (PG) hits a towering 40 foot inflatable screen at Boxcar Park as part of Sail-In Cinema, a long-running waterfront movie series presented by the Port of Everett with signature sponsor PND Engineers. Family activities and concessions open an hour before the film, and the feature begins after sunset. Arrive early to settle in on the lawn and enjoy free popcorn. Bring low profile chairs and picnic blankets for comfort. Evenings by the water can be cool and breezy, so dressing in layers is a good idea. Special guests from the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club are slated to appear for this screening. Boaters can come by water and use guest moorage at the Port of Everett Marina on a first come, first served basis or by reservation through DockWA. There is limited visibility from North Guest Dock 7, and the best view is from the park. In the event of poor weather, the movie may be canceled.
