Lights, Camera, Action – It’s Movies by the Lake!

July 8 @ 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM

Movies by the Lake is back for it’s 4th season and we couldn’t be more excited for this years line up!

Brought to you by the businesses of Burlington Downtown, it’s “Lights, Camera, Action” on this cinematic summer staple. Spencer Smith Park comes to life on Tuesday nights July 8th – August 19th as you soak in simple cinema with your home-grown community. No matter what kind of movie-goer YOU might be, we’ve got all you movie lovers covered.

Make it a night (or several!) to remember as an amazing ensemble awaits you at this FREE event series. With a supporting cast of dinner and drinks, shopping and exploring before the show, package your own cinematic evening alongside our 400+ businesses. Held weekly in Spencer Smith Park, the options for a star-studded night out are truly Oscar worthy. With many of our small businesses making cameos in the park each week, supporting local has never been so easy. It’s truly something you Hollywood’nt want to pass up!

Returning this year is our fan favourite: movie trivia! Are you a mastermind of movie villains? Up to scale on the music that makes the movies? Holding onto some Oscar-worthy film knowledge? Strut your movie stuff with 10 new questions each time we play.

Have questions surrounding accessibility?  Connect with our team members to learn more about accessible seating, captioning, and more.
