Last week, the New Orleans Recreation Development (NORD) Commission kicked off the Fall 2025 season of Movies in the Park, featuring family-friendly, outdoor movie screenings across NORD parks and playgrounds. The Fall 2025 season began last Friday with Wicked at the Lafitte Greenway Gathering Field (2200 Lafitte St.). Movies begin at dusk, with alternate indoor locations available in case of inclement weather.

Sponsored by FOX Sports, Movies in the Park are free, family-friendly evenings that bring neighbors together to enjoy a movie under the stars. Guests can bring picnics, lawn chairs, and blankets, and concessions will be available at select events. Arrive early to take part in pre-show activities and spend time with friends and family. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please note that pets, alcohol, smoking, weapons, drugs, and outdoor cooking are not allowed at NORD.
