Bryant Park Movie Night Schedule for 2025 Announced
Get ready, movie lovers! The Bryant Park Movie Night is set to conclude its outdoor movie season with a bang, as the park's longest-standing tradition continues to entertain New York City residents and visitors alike. Here's what you need to know about the remaining film screenings this summer.
The movie extravaganza kicks off on July 14th with the thought-provoking space odyssey, Interstellar. The following week, on July 21st, the romantic ghost story, Ghost, will be screened. On July 28th, Quentin Tarantino's iconic crime drama, Pulp Fiction, will take centre stage.
The originally scheduled final screening was The Godfather on August 4th, but a special addition has been announced. On August 18th, Interstellar will be screened as an extra film, making it the penultimate movie night of the season. The final screening, The Godfather, will take place on August 11th, closing the 2025 movie night series.
All movies begin around 8 PM, and the lawn opens at 5 PM to allow attendees to arrive early, secure a good spot, and picnic before the screenings. It's advisable to arrive early (around 5 PM), as people start lining up before the lawn opens.
The event is free and open to the public, with complimentary popcorn and prizes occasionally offered. Bring your own food and drinks, though there will be vendors through Hester Street Fair offering bites and drinks. Blankets or low chairs are essential items to bring for comfortable viewing.
Don't forget to enjoy the summer atmosphere and socialise, as this is a popular New York summer tradition. The movie nights run on Monday evenings through August 11, 2025, at Bryant Park, located between 40th and 42nd Streets on 6th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
With limited opportunities left, make sure to secure your spot for these unforgettable movie nights under the stars. High chairs, alcohol, and coolers are not allowed on the lawn, but blankets, reusable water bottles, and snacks are a must.
