Go wedding crashing at Lincoln Center
Lincoln Center is hosting “The Wedding: New York’s Biggest Day” on Saturday, July 8. It’s a (non-legally binding) celebration of love, available to just about anyone: couples getting hitched for the first time, those who’ve been together for decades, or folks who’d like to celebrate their love of the city. The evening will also include various faith leaders, desserts and a “joyous party.” Registration for couples has closed, but organizers say they’ll do their best to accommodate those who show up on the day hoping to participate – noting that they can’t make any promises. For those wanting to celebrate with the couples, the dance floor will open at 8 p.m. and that’s open to everyone on a first come, first served basis.

Catch a Miyazaki flick outdoors in Park Slope
It’s never a bad time to watch one of the amazing animated films by the Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki, all 10 of which are back in theaters this summer as part of a nationwide retrospective. But residents of Park Slope and nearby neighborhoods will have an opportunity to view two of Miyazaki’s most beloved films in the days ahead free of charge, close to home. Park Slope Parents, Park Slope Fifth Avenue BID and the Old Stone House join forces to screen “Spirited Away” next Thursday, July 13, and “My Neighbor Totoro” a week later on July 20. Both screenings happen at 8:30 p.m. on the Fourth Avenue Plaza; learn more here.
