Event Spotlight

INDYtoday: INDY_Indiana State Museum outdoor summer movies_MAY25

Catch a movie under the stars on the State Museum’s lawn.

Heyyy youuuu guyyysss. It’s officially outdoor movie season, and I can’t wait to watch “The Goonies” on the Indiana State Museum lawn on Sunday, June 22. Pro tip: Pack yourself a picnic and truffle shuffle over there right when the gates open at 8 p.m. While the movie won’t start until dusk, the best viewing areas will fill up quickly. Don’t forget to get your parking validated if you use the White River State Park underground parking garage.
