This year, our FREE movie nights on the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza come with a twist! Screenings now happen on Saturdays, featuring quarterly themes showcasing some of your favorite films.

Join us on the second Saturday of the month for a perfect evening under the stars. The plaza opens at 6 PM, and the movie begins at 7 PM. Bring your lawn chairs or a cozy blanket to enjoy the show on our stunning 32-foot LED video wall! Full concessions and a bar will be available to enhance your movie experience.

🌧️ Rain or Shine: These events will go on regardless of the weather. If the skies don’t cooperate, we’ll move the fun indoors.

🚫 Please note: Pets, outside food, and outside drinks are not permitted on the plaza or in our theaters.

Not sure what to expect? Here are a few tips for making the most of your night out:

• Parking: Convenient parking is available at the Tobin Center Parking Garage (227 4th Street, 78205).
• Arrive Early: Secure your perfect spot and avoid navigating through crowds in the dark after the movie starts.
• Seating: Bring blankets or low lawn chairs (no taller than 32" to ensure everyone has a great view). Chairs will also be available on-site as supplies allow.
• Stay Cozy: Cooler evenings call for layers—a long-sleeved shirt or light jacket can make all the difference.
• Share the Fun: Invite your friends! Movie nights are a fantastic way to gather with loved ones and enjoy a relaxing evening together.
