2024 FREE Outdoor Summer Movies in Brooklyn

Check out our round up of outdoor summer movie series in Brooklyn!

By Meredith Kurnov, Editor & Publisher of Macaroni Kid Brooklyn NW August 10, 2024

Among the many not-to-miss summer experiences in NYC is a free outdoor movie in the park. If your kids are old enough to start a movie after sundown, make it a family affair (or date night)! Invite your friends, pack a picnic, and arrive early to catch the sunset! (Bonus: We recommend a packable legless chair for back support if you have one.)

Here's what on tap for free in Summer 2024:
Schedule includes Brooklyn Bridge Park Movie Under The Stars, Rooftop Films, FAB Fulton Flicks, Coney Island Flicks on the Beach, Paramount+ Movie Nights, NYC Parks Movies Under The Stars, Town Square presents Summer Starz, and Habana Outpost Movie Nights, and Red Hook Movies in the Park! Bookmark this article and check back!

Not sure if a movie is appropriate for your kiddo? Pro tip: check Common Sense Media for age recommendations.
