Get ready to grab a blanket and pop the popcorn: July and August are the months for free outdoor movies—a summer tradition in Vancouver.
Free outdoor movie season kicks off Tuesday, July 3, at Ceperley Meadow in Stanley Park, thanks to Fresh Air Cinema. Check out the list of cult-faves (“I’m being repressed!”) and Gen-X classics scheduled for summer 2012:
- Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure – Tuesday, July 3, 2012
- Zoolander – Tuesday, July 10, 2012
- Spaceballs – Tuesday, July 17, 2012
- The Lion King – Tuesday, July 24, 2012

(Someone very friendly to tokers clearly made this list.)
Showtimes start at dusk (around 9:20pm). Movies can get canceled due to rain/weather, so keep up-to-date by following Outdoor Movies BC on Twitter or with Fresh Air Cinema on Facebook.

This sounds so enjoyable. It’s just too bad that they haven’t scheduled any showings for the one week in August during which I’m going to visit Vancouver!

Jenny,
Do check out the BC Outdoor Movie Twitter (linked above) and check back here, too. If summer 2012 is anything like last summer, there will be LOTS of outdoor movies around town in August. This Stanley Park series is likely just the first of many.

Blues Brothers is showing in Stanley Park on Aug 7th at 8:45pm…not sure why it is missing from this list.

Its a great time but with the comedy shows and the limited space, the sound needs to be higher to hear the jokes. Spaceballs needed the volume to hear the jokes that I could not.
