Free Outdoor Movies at Bryant Park

Each summer, Bryant Park hosts a series of free outdoor films. The films are shown on Monday evenings June – August.

Come out to the park and grab a spot on the lawn. The lawn opens for seating at 5:00 p.m and the films begin at sunset, which is usually between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m..

Check out Gothamist’s tips for attending movie night at Bryant Park (including a video of the rush to the lawn at 5:00).
