Sunset Music and Movie Series
Fridays | June - August 2025
Fort Hunter Park | 5300 N. Front Street | Harrisburg, PA 17110
Dauphin County Parks & Recreation is excited to offer a summer of fun events for the whole family with our Sunset Music & Movie Series! This 12-week series will highlight local performing arts organizations and a summer movie series. Pack a picnic basket (or purchase from our food concessions), bring your blankets and your lawn chairs, and enjoy an evening of family fun! These events are all free for everyone to attend thanks to our event sponsor Veolia.
On movie nights, The Friends of Fort Hunter will sell popcorn, candy, and beverages to benefit Fort Hunter Park.
Details on our 2025 schedule of movies and performances will be shared in early spring 2025.
