As part of the Summer Cinema Series, Washington Park is screening Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But this night is about more than just the movie: The Cincinnati Pops “Jedi Quartet” will perform a special preview of the orchestra’s upcoming Star Wars: A New Hope concert, the Cincinnati Comic Expo will don cosplay for meet and greets and the 501st Legion (an international fan organization that wears screen-accurate replicas of Star Wars costumes and armor to different events) will host and judge a costume contest.
Bring enough snacks to feed a wookiee (but the concession stand will be open, with beer, if you forget), wear your best galaxy get-up and may the force be with you.
9-11 p.m. Wednesday (Aug. 8). Free. Washington Park, 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, facebook.com/washingtonparkotr.
