Stay up to date with the latest Park announcements and event cancellations by visiting our alerts page here. Delays, updates, and cancellations will also be announced on our social media channels. Being on the waterfront, weather can change rapidly; our team assesses conditions regularly and does the best to make appropriate decisions in a timely manner. However, there are instances where an event may need to be delayed or canceled without notice to ensure the safety of our staff, partners, and the public. Thank you for your understanding.

All Movies With A View titles are carefully selected by the Conservancy’s Volunteer Film Committee. The Committee selects a theme each year, and works to curate a broad selection of suiting titles for the public to enjoy. Please note that screening rights and screening costs also are factored into their decisions (for example, we would not be able to show a brand new titles still in theaters).

No, all Movies With A View events are open to all ages. However, guardians should be aware that titles may include PG-13 and R rated selections, which are clearly noted. We encourage guardians to do their own research ahead of time to ensure the movie is suiting and appropriate for your children. Additionally, all minors should be accompanied by an adult. The Conservancy is not responsible for gauging appropriateness of titles for movie-goers.
