The Burlington Downtown Business Association is thrilled to announce the return of Movies by the Lake — the popular free outdoor movie series hosted weekly in Spencer Smith Park.
Now entering its fourth season, this cinematic summer staple runs every Tuesday evening from July 8 to August 19, 2025, featuring a star-studded lineup of nostalgic favourites sure to delight film fans of all ages.
Set against the scenic shoreline of Lake Ontario, Movies by the Lake transforms Tuesday nights into unforgettable community experiences. Whether you’re a classic comedy lover, an action enthusiast, or just in it for the popcorn vibes, there’s something for every moviegoer under the stars.
All screenings begin at dusk. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, bring their own chairs or blankets, and enjoy a pre-show experience by exploring Burlington Downtown’s 400+ local businesses. Whether you grab dinner and drinks, shop for treasures, or stroll by the lake, it’s your chance to package the perfect cinematic night out.
Back by popular demand is Movie Trivia, the ultimate warm-up act for film buffs and casual viewers alike. Flex your film knowledge with new questions each week, covering everything from iconic movie scores to legendary villains.
This event is all-ages, alcohol-free, and includes accessible seating and on-site support. Guests are asked to use discretion regarding film content and to be mindful of others during the show.
In the event of inclement weather, screenings will be cancelled. Real-time updates will be posted via our Instagram and Facebook platforms.
