Stanley Park Free Outdoor Movie Schedule

At Stanley Park, Second Beach’s Ceperley Meadows (between Second Beach Pool and the children’s playground) will be outfitted with a four storey inflatable movie screen. Movies starts at dusk. About 5,000 people attend per night; folks love the experience of watching a free movie under the stars in the park. Bring your own blanket, lawn chairs and snacks. There will be bike valet. It’s family-friendly event, so in case it really had to be spelled out: no smoking and no alcohol.

New this season, Fresh Air Cinema has created an 80 seat reserved VIP area where guests can reserve front row Adirondack chair and enjoy a guaranteed seat at any movie night, with partial proceeds from seat sales going to the Vancouver Firefighters Charitable Society. In a partnership with restaurants in the West End BIA, the festival will also be offering nightly “Dinner & a Movie” packages with a three course dinner and a reserved seat at the show for one price. These special seating programs go are on sale at www.summercinema.ca.
