Blog > Celebrate Summer with Outdoor Movies
There’s just something special about watching a movie outside in the summertime. Cozying up under the stars, a picnic spread at your feet, and the buzz of community all around you.
At The Art of Home Team, we’re big fans of anything that brings people together, and Colorado’s outdoor movie nights are one of our favorite ways to soak in summer.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a family outing, or just want to enjoy a beautiful evening, here are a few of the top spots to catch an outdoor movie around Denver and beyond. (and for even more outdoor movie locations, be sure to check out the complete list here)

Avanti Movie Nights
This modern food hall in the LoHi neighborhood, known for its eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, and events. But what we love best is their lineup of FREE movie nights! You can indulge in the delicious offerings of Avanti Food&Beverage while a new movie plays every Thursday night. More Info

RegiRama at Regis University (Denver)
Regis University opens up its campus for free community movie nights on the lawn, and we love the relaxed, all-ages vibe. Bring a blanket, your favorite snacks, and enjoy a movie under the stars with neighbors. It’s such a great way to enjoy a summer evening without spending a dime. More Info

Film on the Rocks (Morrison)

Our Top Tips for Outdoor Movie Nights
- Bring layers. It cools off fast once the sun goes down.
- Pack low chairs or blankets and don’t forget snacks.

- Arrive early to snag a great spot and enjoy the pre-show fun.
At The Art of Home Team, we know that home isn’t just about the house. It’s about the lifestyle that surrounds it. These community movie nights are just one of the reasons we love where we live. If you’re dreaming of a home near all the fun, or you’re ready to plant roots in a neighborhood that offers these kinds of experiences, we’d love to help.

Grab that picnic blanket. We’ll save you a seat under the stars.
