Movie nights are better under the stars. Catch cult classics, rewatch nostalgic favorites and experience recent blockbusters on huge outdoor screens under the Miami moonlight. Whether you’re looking for a romantic date night, an event for the kids or a pet-friendly way to enjoy a flick, Greater Miami & Miami Beach has several options.

Head to the Roof for a Movie at Rooftop Cinema Club South Beach

Rooftop Cinema Club South Beach offers classic films and recent crowd-pleasers. An outdoor movie theater atop the sixth floor of a parking garage on lively Lincoln Road might not seem like a quiet place to enjoy a movie, but that isn’t a worry since everyone gets their own wireless headphones while lounging in Adirondack chairs (or love seats for date nights). There is also a selection of accessible showtimes with open captions for the hearing-impaired. Stop by the concession stand for light bites, or visit the full bar for aptly named cocktails, like the 500 Days of Summer mojito. Arrive before showtime to take in the Instagram-worthy lounge area with games and the Miami Beach skyline as your backdrop.

The Big Screen Is Ginormous At The Soundscape Cinema Series

The Soundscape Cinema Series, presented by the City of Miami Beach, presents free outdoor movies projected onto the 7,000-square-foot wall in SoundScape Park at the New World Center. This seasonal event runs from October through May at 8 p.m. every Wednesday, so bring your lawn chair or blanket and enjoy a wide selection of big-screen favorites. All movies are screened with English subtitles and captions.

Moonlight And Movies At Downtown Doral Park

In Doral, the City of Doral hosts Movies at the Park at Downtown Doral Park. Grab a blanket or lawn chair to sit back and relax with family and friends under the night sky. This free event, once a month from October through April, except December, features family-friendly flicks on a giant screen and is open to the public. Refreshments are available for purchase at the park.

Enjoy The Latest Releases At Nite Owl Drive-In

The Nite Owl Drive-In is Downtown Miami’s first and only drive-in theater. The drive-in is as retro as it gets, with the audio playing through your car’s FM radio, but you’ll find all the newest movies to watch from the comfort of your vehicle. You can also pull out a lawn chair to lounge in front of your car or sit in the trunk of your SUV or pickup truck and enjoy a movie under the stars while listening through a personal audio device that’s available for rent. Tickets aren’t sold on-site and entry into the lot requires a ticket.

Catch A Flick–And Maybe Adopt A Pet–At Market & Movie Night

For a fun-filled night for kids and adults, visit Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus for its outdoor Market & Movie Night, usually held on the first Thursday of the month. Bring your pet, too, and if you don’t have one, you can adopt one at the market. Enjoy free live performances, food trucks, artisanal treats, a produce market, unique vendors and a movie screening. The event is open to the public, and parking is free, too.
