Dix Park Movies
Updated October 18, 2025
The Dorothea Dix Park Movies on the Lawn series continues this Fall!
If you’re a Halloween movie buff, you’re in for a real treat this Halloween season! Dorothea Dix Park will be presenting two Halloween-themed movies back-to-back on Friday, October 31, 2025. This event is free and open to the public, and a prize will be awarded for the best costume!
Pack a picnic (or let us set up one for you!), chairs, and a cozy blanket, and sit back, relax, and enjoy a movie under the stars. Food trucks will also be on-site, but you can bring your own food and beverage if you’d like.
