Movies Under the Stars – Coming to a Neighborhood Park Near You

Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities.

Shows Every Where , For Every Audience

Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between.
