There’s nothing better than watching a movie al fresco with a light picnic on the lush Millennium Park lawn. This Chicago summertime tradition is back with the Millenium Park Film Series, running from July 1 to August 19, 2025.

Stroll into the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and watch classic, family-friendly movies like “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” “Wicked,” or “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” 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. Check out the schedule here.
Mark your calendar for every Tuesday throughout the summer for a free, relaxing movie night surrounded by the natural beauty of Millennium Park. Arrive early for fan favorites like “Wicked” and “Harry Potter” because seats and space on the lawn will fill up quickly.
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.
