Enjoy a movie in the parks!

The big screen in your backyard, Movies in the Parks returns this summer, bringing Hollywood movies and local films to local parks for the twenty-first season. Join us in person at the parks for classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood and retro childhood favorites, to the best family-friendly box office favorites from recent years.

The Chicago Park District strives to bring the best possible entertainment and events to your parks while maintaining prevention-focused COVID safety and mitigation strategies as recommended or required by local, state, and federal guidelines.  Please review the health and safety recommendations for our patrons.

Park fieldhouses and restrooms may not be open during your movie. If you have concerns or questions about fieldhouse hours or restroom availability, please contact your local park supervisor before the movie.

Check out the full lineup below, or in the MyChi Parks app, or in one of these formats: PDF, Excel, or Google Calendar.

All movies begin at dusk. If you're unsure when dusk is, visit any weather site to see the time of dusk each day.  Call (312) 742-1134 for daily listings and weather-related cancellations.

Lawn chairs and snacks at the ready! The Chicago Park District's 2022 lineup for Movies in the Parks has arrived, and it's got enough blockbusters, classic and kid-friendly picks on the roster for you to plan movie nights all summer along—no pricey theater tickets required. From June through September, the annual series brings dozens of free movie screenings to neighborhood parks across the city, from Humboldt Park to the South Shore Cultural Center.

As always, the series' 2022 lineup skews toward family-friendly titles (think Sing 2, Moana and Encanto), though you can still catch adult-approved flicks like The Princess Bride, The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia! and—in a win for all the cinephiles out there—a screening of The Gleaners & I, the charming documentary by French New Wave icon Agnès Varda. Take a look at the full rundown of Movies in the Parks 2022.
