Movies in the Park

Movies in the Park returns with free family favorite films projected on a massive outdoor screen in Pack Square Park just after dusk on the second Friday of the month!  This beloved summer tradition is produced by Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) and sponsored by Au Pair in America.

Community members are invited to bring blankets and folding lawn chairs, for a night under the stars!

All movies begin at dusk in Pack Square Park. Showtimes are approximate but plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior.

Asheville Parks & Recreation Rec n Roll Play Zone will be there with pre-show games, giveaways, and other activities for kids and teens. The APR Rec n Roll Play Zone opens about an hour before showtime. Themed giveaways while supplies last.

Bring money for treats from local vendors Kona Ice of Asheville and Kernel Mike’s World Famous Kettle Corn. Food truck and food tent spaces available for vendors who sell more substantial food like pizza, sandwiches, and other entrees. Please contact Calvin Owens at cowens@ashevillenc.gov or (828) 747-1347 for more info.

Parking is free in marked spaces on city streets and in city-owned lots on Marjorie and Valley streets after 6pm, so there’s no need to feed the meter.

Pets, smoking, and alcohol prohibited.

Have fun! Dress up as your favorite characters, invite friends, and celebrate cool summer nights. Be sure to tag APR on Instagram and Facebook.

Outdoor events may be impacted by summer weather. Follow APR on Instagram and Facebook for cancellation announcements.
