Bryant Park Movie Night Schedule for August 2025
Get ready for an unforgettable cinema experience under the stars at Bryant Park! The outdoor movie season is winding down, but there are still two chances to watch a film at this beloved tradition.
The schedule for August includes two screenings:
- Monday, August 11, 2025: The Godfather
- Monday, August 18, 2025 (extra screening added): Interstellar
Both movies will start around 8 PM, with the lawn opening at 5 PM for picnicking. This extra screening on August 18th is a special bonus added to the usual finale schedule[1][3][4][5].
To ensure a comfortable experience, guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot on the lawn. As people line up well before 5 PM and may rush the lawn, it's best to be there early[1]. Essential items to bring include blankets, reusable water bottles, and snacks[6].
Food and drinks will be available at the event, curated by Hester Street Fair and Stout NYC. Local favourites such as food, beer, wine, and summer spritzes will be on offer[7].
Remember, there are certain items prohibited on the lawn, such as tall chairs, booze, and coolers[2]. It's important to coordinate your friend group as the lawn fills up almost instantly[8].
The Bryant Park Movie Night is one of the park's longest-running traditions, and this year promises to be no exception. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to enjoy a classic film under the night sky.
