Movie Night in City Park: Going My Way Pop-up cinemas became the new normal during the pandemic, and what could be a better location than a spot right by Lake Coeur d’Alene? City Park will be the place to see Going My Way under the stars this weekend, the first in a string of films hosted by the North Idaho Museum in accordance with their ongoing exhibit about Hollywood stars from our region. A Best Picture winner that also earned Bing Crosby his only competitive Oscar, the musical drama stars the Spokane crooner as a young priest whose unorthodox methods ruffle the feathers of his superiors. Downtown Coeur d’Alene will continue to host movies throughout the summer at the Human Rights Education Institute (414 W. Fort Grounds Dr.), including the hit musical Grease (June 18), 1962’s The Miracle Worker (July 16) with its Oscar-winning performance by Patty Duke, and The Grub-Stake (Aug. 27), a 1923 silent feature shot around Priest Lake.
