About this Event

Short Stay & Neighborhood Watch for NORTH TO SHORE! Neighborhood Watch: A Night Outdoors at the Yard is an open-air movie night bringing together film, music, and community in one of Newark’s favorite backyard spaces at The Yard.

We’re transforming the space into a cozy outdoor cinema lounge with blankets, beanbags, couches, and chairs centered around a large screen. In collaboration with Gallery Retail (creators of Newark First Fridays), this will be a silent cinema experience, meaning you’ll watch the film through wireless headphones for high-quality sound and an intimate vibe.

The night kicks off at sunset with DJ sets from Newark favorite sound curators. We’ll start the screening with Short Stay Shorts—a quick showcase of emerging filmmakers—before getting into the main feature. The best part? The community helps pick the film through Instagram voting.

You’ll also be able to grab food and drinks from The Yard and shop with a few local vendors throughout the night.

Come through for a laid-back, feel-good night of film, music, and Newark culture. 🎬🌙
