Your summer 2026 guide to outdoor movies in the Sacramento region

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and catch an outdoor movie once in a while, you could be missing out. So grab your lawn chairs and blankets, and make the most of summer’s comfy evening hours with screenings under the stars around the region, from timeless comedies like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off  to more recent releases like Wicked  and plenty of animated hijinks for the kiddos.

Your 2025 Guide to Outdoor Movie Screenings in the Sacramento Area

Break out the lawn chairs and the popcorn, bring a light jacket for when the Delta Breeze rolls in, and cozy up with your friends and family for some outdoor movie screenings this summer (and a few in the fall, too). Whether you’re in the mood for classics like The Goonies and Big, recent blockbusters like Wicked, or animated family fare like Moana 2, these grassy lawns, museum courtyards, and even swimming pools are the place to be.
