Skyland Town Center Events: Can I Kick It? Presents black panther
Skyland Town Center is proud to continue its tradition of bringing exciting Skyland Town Center events to the community. On Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, we invite you to experience a truly unique movie night featuring the hit movie Black Panther, enhanced with a live, custom soundtrack from SHAOLIN JAZZ.
This free outdoor screening is part of our mission to make Skyland Town Center events more than entertainment—they are opportunities for neighbors to come together, celebrate culture, and enjoy Southeast DC in a whole new way.
What Makes Skyland Town Center Events Special
Our goal at Skyland is to host community-driven activities that are creative, accessible, and memorable. Can I Kick It? is a nationally recognized event series that perfectly reflects this vision.
Created by SHAOLIN JAZZ, Can I Kick It? blends kung fu films with hip-hop, funk, and soul. As the movie plays, DJ 2-Tone Jones remixes each scene with a live soundtrack, transforming the film into an electrifying multimedia experience. It’s this type of creativity that defines Skyland Town Center events—always fresh, unexpected, and free to attend.
About the Movie: BLack Panther
After the death of his father, T’Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and as Black Panther — gets tested when he’s drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.
Paired with SHAOLIN JAZZ’s live soundtrack, this Skyland Town Center event brings new energy to the film, making it a must-see for fans of action, music, and retro pop culture.
