Yountville Movies in the Park |
Experience outdoor movie night and family movie night under the stars |
This summer, movies in the park make a much-anticipated return to Yountville, California, drawing excitement from families across the valley.
Locals are already buzzing about the chance to unwind under the stars, enjoying the simple pleasure of a favorite film surrounded by neighbors and friends.
With the sun dipping behind the vineyards, Yountville Community Park becomes the heart of outdoor fun for all ages.
Guests bring blankets and lawn chairs, transforming the grass into a patchwork of families and friends eager for a family movie night to remember.
According to recent reports, this year’s remaining lineup will feature:
July 31 - Elio
August 28 - The Incredibles
The movies begin at dusk, but local food trucks and concession stands welcome hungry moviegoers beginning around 6:30 pm.
Whether you savor artisan pizza, sweet treats, or classic popcorn, there’s something for every taste at this outdoor movie night.
Many who attended last year’s events recall the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, noting how these free gatherings feel more important than ever in the Valley's close-knit community.
Event organizers encourage attendees to arrive early, as prime lawn spots fill up quickly once the gates open and the smell of fresh snacks fills the air.
This annual tradition represents a comforting return to normalcy, following seasons of postponed events and restrictions.
For parents searching for safe, affordable family activities, movies in the park are more than just entertainment—they’re an invitation to reconnect and rediscover community joy.
So as twilight settles over Yountville, gather your loved ones for an outdoor movie night that’s sure to become a cherished memory. |

Brought my grandma last year and she loved it. Makes all ages feel welcome.
Nina V.That’s so sweet, Nina. My mom comes with us too and she gets a kick out of it. Love seeing everyone, young and old, enjoying the night together.
The park is such a perfect spot for these! Hope everyone cleans up after themselves this year.
We agree, Yountville Community Park really sets the perfect scene, and everyone pitching in to keep it clean helps maintain that special atmosphere.
Elio is a new one for us, but we’ll give it a shot. The kids just love watching anything outside.
Elio should be a fun adventure for all ages, and there's really something magical about watching a movie outdoors together.
Tommy F.Same here! I hadn't heard of Elio before either, but honestly, my kids just love the whole set up. Makes any movie fun.
Outdoor movie nights are the best. Nice to have something fun to do that doesn’t break the bank.
emi_gRight? And the snacks make it feel even more special but way more affordable than the theater.
I’ve never been to one of these. Do folks usually bring their own snacks too?
It’s so nice to see the community together again after all the cancellations. Feels like old times.
Dan MendezTotally agree, Dan. Last year felt like a big reunion. Hoping for another great turnout this summer!
So glad these are free. Not many family things are affordable like this.
We're glad you appreciate that these events are free, a big part of their mission is making family fun accessible to all in the community.
Pro tip: get there early if you want a good spot. Last time we showed up late and had to sit near the back.
Great advice, prime spots go fast once the gates open, so arriving early definitely pays off!
Wish they’d play something classic too. But my kids are already pumped for The Incredibles.
I love how everyone brings blankets and it feels like one big picnic. Can’t wait for August.
Did someone say food trucks? Count me in for the popcorn and pizza!
Yes, the food trucks and snack stands start serving around 6:30 pm, there's plenty of delicious options for everyone!
Last year’s movie night was honestly my favorite part of summer. Hoping the weather stays nice for Elio!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Fingers crossed for another beautiful summer evening for Elio.
