10th Season of Free Movies in the Park Features Over 40 Screenings

Portland, OR. Summer nights in Portland parks offer families and friends the perfect backdrop to renew connections and take in a film. Since 2007, crowds have gathered in parks to experience cinematic magic in an outdoor setting. The Portland Parks program has grown from 13 movies to a run of 46 movies at 43 sites, screened during a 12-week schedule. Producing the special event is possible with the help of partnerships with neighborhood associations and sponsors.

MOVIES BEGIN AT DUSK. Pre-movie entertainment begins at 6:30 PM, including live performances by local musicians and free popcorn. Bring jackets or extra blankets, as it gets chilly when the sun goes down!
