Movies Under the Stars
Experience the silver screen outside during Old Pasadena’s Movies Under the Stars.
From June to August, One Colorado’s Courtyard transforms into an outdoor movie venue, where beloved films are projected as moving murals. Pasadena has been the backdrop for many Hollywood classics, so why not celebrate the city’s film history by watching a movie in “Old Pas?” String lights and patio lounge seating set a cozy mood that’s just as comfy as your home setup. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t forget to bring your comfiest blankets, pillows, and plushies! Grab food and drinks to-go with nearby restaurants in the neighborhood.

Things to Do Before and After Movies Under the Stars
There’s more than one way to appreciate a film in Pasadena. ‘80s movie buffs will enjoy making their way to the Gamble House, which was the setting for Doc Brown’s garage and laboratory in Back to the Future. Want to feel like you’re in an old classic with Humphrey Bogart? Find moody bars that feel like speakeasies with our beer and wine guide. For a leisurely walk, take the La La Land path across Colorado Street Bridge. Discover the original source of your favorite movie adaptations with our list of bookstores around Pasadena. Finally, complete your itinerary with a comfortable stay at one of Pasadena’s premier hotels.
The Movies Under the Stars event sets the perfect scene (pun intended) for a romantic weekend rendezvous, an evening picnic, and a chance to revisit box office hits.
