Jersey City Movies In The Park 2024: Schedule & Locations

23 May, 2025

Are you ready to trade the confines of your living room for the open air and the magic of the silver screen? Jersey City is rolling out the red carpet (or, rather, the picnic blanket) for its highly anticipated "Movies in the Park" series, offering a summer brimming with free outdoor screenings that promise fun for the whole family.

This year, the initiative, presented by the City of Jersey City, Mayor Steven M. Fulop, the Jersey City Municipal Council, and the Office of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the Jersey City Parks Coalition, is set to light up the evenings in nearly every public park across the city. The concept is simple: bring your friends, family, and a comfy blanket, and settle in for a night of cinematic enjoyment under the stars. The locations span a diverse array of Jersey City's beloved green spaces, from City Hall Plaza to the picturesque Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park, Riverview Park, and more. The series kicks off with a diverse schedule. With options available from the J. Owen Grundy Pier to the lush expanses of Audubon Park, there's bound to be a location close to you.

The excitement builds as the season is primed to kick off in June. The Exchange Place Alliance joins the fun, with screenings planned at 107 Morgan St., Jersey City. The Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association is also proudly presenting events.

Movies in the Park isn't just about watching a film; it's about community. It's about the shared experience of laughter, gasps, and moments of reflection, all amplified by the unique ambiance of an outdoor setting. It's a chance to connect with neighbors, discover new parks, and create lasting memories. Movies begin at sundown (approximately 7:30 PM), but it's wise to arrive early to snag the best viewing spot. For any changes or updates to the schedule, locals can visit jerseycityculture.org.

The 2024 season boasts a wide range of family-friendly films. This years lineup includes a fantastic mix, with titles ranging from the animated adventures of "Penguins of Madagascar" to the action-packed thrills of "Transformers."
