The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series

15 movies. 13 summer nights.

This June, July, and August, watch the sun set and catch a film in The Amphitheater for Indy’s favorite summer tradition, The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series. Gather your friends and family to experience a lineup of timeless classics and hidden gems. Bring your blankets, pack your favorite snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, and enjoy the show under the stars. Don’t forget sunscreen and bug spray. It is summertime in Indiana, after all.

Doors will open at 7 PM. Arrive early to grab the perfect patch of grass, pick up some popcorn, and relax as the sun sets behind The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park.

Before each film, enjoy music from local DJs and challenge your friends to trivia, games, and activities. Film start times will vary throughout the season. Alcoholic beverages and additional concessions are available for purchase until 30 minutes after the film begins.

Want to travel light? Add a chair rental for $8 and we'll do the heavy lifting for you.

In the event of inclement weather films will be screened in The Tobias Theater at 9 PM. You will be notified via email on any weather calls as soon as they are made.
