We have the privilege of enjoying all four seasons to the fullest here in Washington, but there’s truly something special about our summers. The days are long and warm, the Farmers Markets are full of fresh berries and vibrant flowers, and some of our cities and towns host outdoor movies in their parks. Now in its 25th year, the Seattle Outdoor Cinema takes that experience to a whole new level with a big screen, plenty of snacks, and an impressive night market.

Seattle Outdoor Cinema is located at the South Lake Union Discovery Center on Westlake Avenue.
