Sunset Cinema: Movies in the Park Series is Set to Kick Off

KNOXVILLE, TN (WOKI) — Knox County is hosting its third annual Sunset Cinema: Movies in the Park Series. The Sunset Cinema is a perfect way to spend a night in the great outdoors, with popular movies showing throughout the summer months.

“These events are a summertime favorite for families across the region,” said Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs. “They’re a great way to enjoy a relaxing evening outdoors, catch a movie, and experience the beauty of our parks.”

Activities kick off at 7 p.m. with screenings starting at dusk on various Fridays throughout May, June and July. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs, and food. However, no alcohol is allowed.

The dates and locations for summer 2025 are:

  • May 30: Garfield The Movie at Clayton Park
  • June 13: Inside Out 2 at Carter Park
  • June 27: Wicked at Carl Cowan Park
  • July 11: Moana 2 at Powell Station Park
  • July 25: The Minecraft Movie at French Memorial Park

If any movie must be canceled because of the weather, the county will post a notification to the Parks and Recreation Facebook page and the Park’s X page.
