KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knox County is hosting its second annual "Sunset Cinema: Movies in the Park" series. 

Sunset Cinema is a great way to spend a night outdoors with popular movies throughout the summer.

Activities kick off at 8 p.m. with screenings starting at dusk on various Fridays throughout May, June, July and August. People are encouraged to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs and food. No alcohol is allowed.

The dates and locations for summer 2024 are:

  • May 24: Shrek at New Harvest Park
  • June 7: Elemental at Carl Cowan Park
  • June 21: Migration at French Memorial Park
  • July 19: Barbie at Powell Station Park
