Catching movies at Millennium Park is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. It's always a great time and it's free. So grab friends, have a picnic, and watch a film with Chicago's skyline as your backdrop.
The Details:
The Millennium Park movie series takes place at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday night starting June 4th until August 20st. The movies play at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park (201 E. Randolph St.) and you are welcome to bring outside food and alcohol. The City of Chicago released the full schedule and there are some great films this year! Check it out below.

Tips for Millennium Park Movie Goers

- All the seating is first come, first served. So get there early! Many people arrive right after work around 5 pm.
- I prefer to sit on the lawn instead of the seats so there's room to have a picnic.
- Bring a blanket to help claim your space, (but don't be too greedy!). Also I use a waterproof blanket like this one.
- Mariano's grocery store is right across the street. So you can pick up some wine and snacks on your way over.
- Giordano's is across the street too, if you prefer pizza!
Perfect for picnics and only $29!
