FRIDAY:
General Events:
- Film: The Delaware Art Museum is hosting an outdoor showing of iconic 1956 children's film The Red Balloon. It's being billed as a family movie screening, but I don't think you need to have kids to appreciate this French film classic about a red balloon's journey across Paris. 6:30-8pm in the Copeland sculpture garden, free. Rain date is Sunday. http://www.delart.org/film
