Town Square's SummerSTARZ free family movie nights are back. 6 wonderful Friday nights at Transmitter Park on the gorgeous Greenpoint waterfront. Bring a picnic blanket, friends & family. Come early and have an awesome time!

The first movie night is Friday, July 8th, featuring KUNG FU PANDA 3 (PG). When Po's long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible - learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas.

Public transportation: G-Train to Greenpoint Avenue stop. Buses B24/B32/B43 to Greenpoint Avenue stop.

Go Green! Festival 2016 also celebrates the launch of Town Square’s newest initiative, Go Green Brooklyn Hub,* a new online destination for local environmental news, events and opportunities. Its mission is to increase participation in environmental programs and make our communities better places to live.   Please share GoGreenbk.org with everyone you know who lives in Greenpoint and Williamsburg and be sure to have them sign up for local eco news here. 

By sharing interesting content — local heroes’ stories, events and concrete ways for citizens to get involved in North Brooklyn’s myriad of green organizations — Go Green Brooklyn will support green advocates, galvanize all residents and bring neighbors together to benefit the community.

Sign up for our Go Green BK Hub newsletter here. If you sign up before the end of this coming Friday, you’ll be entered in our raffle for the chance to win $100 to Brooklyn Kitchen and $25 to Dusty Rose! You can join our Hub Facebook community group page and follow the Hub on Twitter and Instagram.

* This project is made possible with funding provided by the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation through the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.

For those of us who don't avidly follow chess happenings, the IS 318 took 3rd place in the National Middle School Chess Championships 2016 last month in Indianapolis.  And without taking a breather, the IS 318 Girls took 2nd place in the National Girls Chess Championships 2016 in Chicago.  PS 31 also won team trophies: 22nd and 17th in the u900 and u800, respectively. So very proud!
