Pittsburgh, PA – The City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation (CitiParks) Office of Special Events is pleased to announce the official “Dollar Bank Cinema in the Park” schedule for the coming summer. Moviegoers can bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy an evening of feature films under the stars in various neighborhood locations from June through August.  All movies are presented to the public free of charge.

The 2026 movie season will showcase new and old theater blockbusters such as “The Bad Guys 2,” “Cars,” and the final “Mission: Impossible” installation. Broadway musical lovers will also find favorites throughout the summer, as “The Wiz,” “Wicked: For Good,” and “Hamilton” make this year’s schedule, with the latter featured directly ahead of the much anticipated Fourth of July festivities that will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The film schedule returns to fan-favorite neighborhood sites, with movies taking place weekly at Flagstaff Hill, Grandview Park Bandstand, and Riverview Park (following “Stars at Riverview” concerts). Movies will also show on a rotating basis at Arsenal Park, Banksville Park, Brookline Memorial Park, Highland Park, McBride Park, Ormsby Park, and the West End Overlook. August will feature additional “pop-up” screenings at East Liberty Green, Frankie Pace, and Troy Hill Citizens Parks.

On Sunday, July 26, movie enthusiasts are invited to Schenley Plaza for “Reel Abilities Summer Shorts,” a special presentation with Film Pittsburgh, which will feature a collection of short films highlighting disability inclusion in cinema. Audio descriptive and accessible services will be available at this event.

“Cinema in the Park” is presented by Dollar Bank, with 100.7 Star and WAMO 107.3 serving as media partners, and select locations supported by the Allegheny Regional Asset District.
