Parramatta❜s Free Family Movie Nights

We love a good outdoor movie (and the perfect excuse to get the kids out of the house!), so we are thrilled to hear that the city of Parramatta is bringing back free flicks to their local parks these Easter School holidays. 

Parramatta's Free Family Movie Nights

From 4 pm to 9 pm on school holiday weekends, join your neighbours for an action-packed schedule of kids' activities, live entertainment and food stalls at Parramatta's Free Family Movie Nights. After sunset, find a spot on the grass to catch a range of family-friendly blockbusters under the stars. 

The Free Movie Line-Up

Friday, 10 April — A Minecraft Movie (2025) at Sue Savage Reserve

Saturday 11 April — Wicked For Good (2025) at Northmead Reserve

Sunday, 12 April — The Bad Guys 2 (2025) at Upjohn Park

Friday, 17 April — How To Train Your Dragon (2025) at FS Garside Park

Saturday, 18 April — Karate Kid: Legends (2025) at West Epping Park

All films are rated PG.

Bring your picnic blanket, your favourite snacks and even your furry friends (on a leash) for a night of fun in the great outdoors. If you're in need of a break from making snacks, each site will also have pizza, popcorn, ice cream, coffee, plus other tasty treats from local food stalls.

There'll be beanbags to sink into, but make sure you get there early to snag one — it's first-come, first-served; no bookings can be made.
