Welcome to Earth — and welcome to Washington Park for the Fourth of July screening of the 1996 sci-fi blockbuster Independence Day. After a worldwide alien attack on human civilization, a rag-tag group of people including Jeff Goldblum, Randy Quaid and Will Smith launch a counter-attack on the extraterrestrials on the Fourth of July. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to the park’s civic lawn and watch the film for free. Concessions will be open and selling beer, wine, liquor, Coca-Cola products and snacks. Or bring your own snacks; you just can’t BYOB.
9-11 p.m. Free. Washington Park, 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, washingtonpark.org.
