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.
  • FYI: 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!

Hester Street Fair brings the city’s best vendors to the Fountain Terrace each week, 4pm-8:30pm, to make your Movie Nights picnic the most delicious it can be.

Starting at 5pm, stop by our bar tent to the left of the screen for summer-ready drinks, featuring special offerings from Stout NYC.
