Free movies at Millennium Park

There’s nothing better than watching a movie al fresco with a light picnic on the lush Millenium Park lawn. This Chicago summertime tradition is back with the Millenium Park Film Series, running from July 12 to August 30, 2022.

Stroll into the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and watch classic, family-friendly movies like “Ghostbusters,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” or “Black Panther,” on a huge 40-foot LED screen. Choose a seat in the pavilion or a blanket or chair on the lawn and enjoy an evening movie outdoors.

The kind people at the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events tell us the film list will be released the week of May 16.

Food and drinks are sold at kiosks in the park or you can bring your own. Movies are presented every Tuesday at dusk, which is around 6:30 pm with free admission.
