Cheapskate's guide: Last call for free summer events

Steph here. If you're like me, you're eager to get outside more before summer unofficially ends without breaking the bank.

• I offer a few suggestions for events that are free and fun.

DCR's "Movies in the Parks" series ends this week with two screenings starting at sundown.

• 8/27: "Wicked" sing-along showing on Castle Island
• 8/28: "Wicked" sing-along on Houghton's Pond

If you miss those, the Boston Landing's last summer movie screening will also be a "Wicked" sing-along.

• Pre-party starts at 5pm. Movie starts at 7pm.

The Boston Landmarks Orchestra will play its last free show of the summer tomorrow, performing music from Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe" and Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1.

For families with kids, the Boston Common Frog Pond's spray pool is open until next Friday at 6pm.

Art enthusiasts have until Thursday to catch "Creating Space," a free exhibition featuring local artist Danica D. Marshall at the Charles J. Beard II Media Center in Roxbury.

• The gallery is open 1-6pm.

For cheap eats, you can still get a $5 burger after 8pm at A&B Kitchen and Bar until next Saturday.

• Coors Lights are $3.
