Mac KID Guide to Outdoor Movies and Concerts in Westchester County

Mark your calendars for summer season fun!

By Kelly Fitzpatrick May 21, 2025

There is something so fun and uniquely summer about taking in an outdoor movie or concert and we are lucky to have so many options for families across Westchester County.  The summer of 2025 has quite a line-up of outdoor movie and outdoor concert events taking place around Westchester.  Picnics are encouraged and many of the outdoor entertainment spots also have food trucks or concession stands available.  Be sure to check the websites in the event of inclement weather.  Some outdoor movies or concerts are rescheduled for the next day, or the date will be announced on the website.  Grab your chairs and pack that picnic to get ready for summer fun at the outdoor movies and concerts in Westchester County!
