Whether you’re planning a casual outing with friends or a memorable evening with family, Movies Under the Stars delivers a simple yet magical experience—watching a film on a giant outdoor screen surrounded by nature.
A Community-Focused Summer Tradition
Each Thursday evening, attendees can gather at select parks across Burlington to catch a featured movie.

What to Bring for the Perfect Movie Night
Preparation is key to making the most of your evening under the stars. Guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for comfortable seating. Since the screenings take place outdoors, insect repellent is also a smart addition to your bag.
Snacks and refreshments are welcome, allowing you to create your own picnic-style movie night. Whether you pack popcorn, sandwiches, or sweet treats, having your favourite bites on hand adds to the fun.
Arriving early is highly recommended, as it gives you time to secure a good viewing spot and settle in before the film begins. With parking and restroom facilities available on site, the event is designed to be convenient and accessible for everyone.
Weather Updates and Important Notices
As with any outdoor event, weather can play a role in scheduling. In the event of rain or unfavourable conditions, screenings may be delayed or cancelled. Attendees are advised to check updates on the City of Burlington’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, where cancellation notices will be posted by 3 p.m. on the day of the event.
Keeping an eye on updates ensures you won’t miss out—or make an unnecessary trip if conditions aren’t suitable.
Enjoy Summer Nights the Simple Way
Access Storage Movies Under the Stars is a celebration of community, entertainment, and the joys of summer. With free admission and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s an easy and enjoyable way to make the most of warm Thursday evenings in Burlington.
Pack your blanket, grab your snacks, and get ready to relax under the night sky—because some of the best summer memories are made one movie at a time.
