There's something magical about watching a movie outside under the summer sky, and Davis County makes it easy with movies in the park happening all summer long. Pack a blanket, bring your favorite treats, and find a great spot on the grass for a laid-back date night that doesn't cost a thing. Whether you make it a date night out or bring the whole family along, it's one of those simple summer experiences that never gets old. And there are some great movies planned for both types of experience. Check out all the free outdoor movies happening in Davis County this summer and start planning your nights out!
