Watching a movie under the stars is a quintessential part of summer in Philadelphia and the Countryside.
Here in Greater Philadelphia, residents and visitors alike can catch a wide range of outdoor film screenings in scenic parks, amphitheaters, green rooftops and other venues throughout the region.
Gather your family and friends, grab a favorite blanket, pack a picnic — or just a bag of popcorn — and choose from a plethora of hits (most family-friendly and many animated).
Barbie, Wonka, the 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid and the fourth installment of Kung Fu Panda are popping up on plenty of scenes this summer, but definitely keep an eye out for not-so-common flicks like Vampire’s Kiss, Spirited Away, and The Holdovers, starring award-winning Philadelphia daughter Da’vine Joy Randolph.
Most screenings begin at dusk, with start times varied depending on sunset times.
Bonus: Almost all of the outdoor movies included in this roundup are completely free, and several offer free snacks.
An important note: Details — including screening dates — can change at any time, especially due to inclement weather. Always check ahead with event organizers and/or on official event sites and social media to confirm event dates and times.
