11 Tremendous Weeks of FREE Outdoor Movies Are Coming to the Boise Area

The weather is starting to warm up and communities all over the Boise area are getting ready to dust off their giant inflatable movie screens! Some of these cities have already announced the dates of their movie nights and which films will be playing. 

Boise’s Movies Under the Stars

Boise itself isn’t ready to spill all of the details about their outdoor movies quite yet, but they do want you to save the date…or dates. The city brought back their outdoor movie series for the first time since the pandemic last summer and chose Julia Davis Park as the singular home for “Movies Under the Stars.” They’ll announce the films that are playing later this year, but those movies will start at dusk. All the screenings are free and open to the public. The 2024 dates are:

• June 21
• July 19
• August 16

Meridian’s Sparklight Movie Night

The City of Meridian will once again host their summer movie nights at Settler’s Park. They’re actually the first outdoor movie series in the area to get underway this year. Beginning May 31, they’ll show movies every other Friday night through the beginning of August. Parents are reminded that kids under 18 will not be allowed to attend movie night without a parent or guardian present the entire night. All screenings are free and open to the public. The screen is set-up at 7 and the movies start at dusk. 

Kuna’s Movies on the Greenbelt

Kuna’s movie series is kind of unique because they pick some classic throwback movies that you grew up with! They’re also going to host an adults only night in mid-June and plan to do a “Spooky Movie Night” in October. They’re the only series that does a movie every week once the series begins on June 7. 

Nampa’s Silver Screen on the Green

Nampa’s Silver Screen celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year, but things in 2024 will be a little bit different. It appears that Nampa cut back on the number of movies they’re showing this year AND they’ve moved to a new venue. Movies are now at Midway Park. They’re free and start around dusk.

We’re still waiting for dates and movies from the Middleton Optimist Club.
