Memorial Day weekend officially marks the beginning of summer. While numerous activities exist, there’s nothing quite like a free movie in one of Chicago’s parks.
Whether it’s a lakefront screening or a projector set up in the middle of a baseball field, you can find outdoor movie shows in almost any Chicago park. So, pack a picnic of your favorite snacks and drinks, bring a cozy blanket, and gather your friends for the perfect movie night experience.
