Every Summer outdoor movie screening in NYC, now in one calendar

Our new 2015 Outdoor NYC Movie Calendar is out! Find it here.


In a city as painfully expensive as New York, finding an activity that’s free is a breath of fresh air, especially when that free thing involves, uh, fresh air. Enter the outdoor movie screening, a NYC Summertime staple that would be the greatest thing ever, if only it wasn't so hard to keep track of.

Fixing that, we’ve compiled a master calendar of NYC's six outdoor movie screening series, then organized them all by date for maximum planning ease.

Since there will undoubtedly be more movies that get scheduled, we'll be updating this list throughout the Summer on the 1st of every month. Got tips on a new outdoor movie screening series? Leave 'em in the comments below.
