Join thousands of Chicagoans who take in a free movie in Grant Park at the free Chicago Outdoor Film Festival. Each Tuesday for seven weeks at dusk, the free Chicago Outdoor Film Festival features free classic movies and this Tuesday, August 18, come on down to enjoy “Young Mr. Lincoln”, an 1939 free film featuring Henry Fonda and Alice Brady. The free movie starts at 8:17 pm and is a fictionalized account of the early life of America’s 16th President (this year notes the bi-centennial of his birth). The story follows Abe Lincoln as he tackles one of the most significant trials in a young lawyers life. 
This is the first film of many in a long term collaboration between director John Ford and Fonda.
In honor of the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival’s 10th Anniversary, the City of Chicago will be giving away 10 sets of tickets to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield along with $50 Lettuce Entertain You Gift Certificates and a special tour of the WLIT Radio Studios with Melissa Forman, courtesy of The Lite, 93.9 WLIT. Attendees can register to win at the Sponsorship Village on-site.
