This summer, we’ve partnered with City Council members, Park Friends groups, Advisory Councils, police districts, and civic associations to present more than 40 movie nights as part of the Philadelphia Parks & Recreation series! This is in addition to the many movie nights being put on by our wonderful partner organizations.
Every movie night is free, with movies starting approximately 15 minutes after sunset. In case of inclement weather, each movie night’s rain date will be the following night unless otherwise noted by our presenting partner.
