It feels like summer, which calls for more time spent outdoors. Grab some popcorn, a drink, and maybe some bug spray because we’re taking the big screen outside.
A watch in the park
Visit Garfield Park for “Vintage Movie Night” at 8 p.m. on one Friday a month from June through September. Tickets are $5. See the schedule.
Stop by Belmont Beach on the near west side for “Makers Market & Movie Night” on the last Friday of the month from May through September. The show begins at dusk.
The “Summer Nights Film Series” is back at Newfields on Fridays and select Saturdays in June, July, and August. All you need is a chair or blanket, and guests are welcome to pack their own picnic. The museum will show films from black + white classics to modern blockbusters. Tickets are $10 for members and $12 for the public. See the full lineup.

At the drive-in
Put it in park. Tibbs Drive-In Theatre has been around since 1967 and is Indy’s only drive-in movie theater. This nostalgic spot is open Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings during the summer. Bring the whole family (even the pups) for current Hollywood releases + the occasional classic.
Up north
