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 11 to August 29, 2023.

Stroll into the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and watch classic, family-friendly movies like “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Clueless” or “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” 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.

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.
