Downtown Movies in the Park

Movies in the Park: Summer of Cult Classics brings large, themed, high-energy crowds to Peace Park in the heart of downtown Madison, with attendance reaching 300+ per screening. Each night is built around an iconic film experience—complete with themed dressing, audience sing-alongs, and strong community engagement—creating a highly social atmosphere that naturally extends into nearby streets before and after the show.
