Outdoor Movies in the Lehigh Valley

May 11th, 2012

Hey Movie Fans,

Movies, Games & More is your source for outdoor movie info in the Lehigh Valley. I’m currently posting the schedules for Allentown, ArtsQuest, Bear Creek Resort, Bethlehem, Easton, Upper Macungie and others so keep checking back for more dates on the calendar. By my count so far 47 outdoor movie events are scheduled in the Lehigh Valley.

Easton is doing several screenings of the same film in different locations so that’s why you see event posts below of the same titles. There is also some crossover of titles in various venues around the valley.

Wherever you live, there is a free outdoor movie screening near you this summer.
