Outdoor Films

Catering to a broader audience, our Outdoor Screening programme strives to create special and accessible venues in public spaces with family-friendly movie screenings presented free-of-charge to the Barrie community. These screenings are a good fit in collaboration with the Downtown BIA’s Lawn Chair Luminata: Waterfront series, which brings together theatre, music, film and art set in various downtown locations. See below for outdoor screenings in our area.
