Movie Nights are almost always rain or shine, but:

  • If it rains, the movie will go on and the lawn will be closed. Seating will be available in the gravel path surrounding the lawn, and throughout the park. Bring your umbrella!
  • If there are thunderstorms, the movie will be delayed or cancelled.
  • There are no rain dates for Movie Nights.
  • Because there are no rain dates, we do not make a lawn or cancellation call until the day of the movie, and often later in the day. Conditions can quickly change; if weather is deemed dangerous, the park may close.
  • Please follow our social media @bryantparknyc on Instagram and Twitter for Movie Nights lawn and weather updates!
