Movies Under the Stars

Grab your lawnchair, a blanket, some snacks and your favourite people and make the most out of a Cobourg Summer with Movies Under the Stars. The 2026 season will bring you 5 free movies to enjoy on a big outdoor movie screen, a powerful projector and concert-quality sound. 

This year, we will always be on the beach (with one exception, details coming soon!) and the movies will always start at dusk (about 8:30pm). It's a great way to end a great day in the sun or a fun activity to do to get the night started. You can grab dinner downtown Cobourg before the movie or grab a dessert while you debrief after the show.

There is no cost, no registration and no reason not to come!

Mark your calendars and check what movies will be shown this Summer!

Saturday, July 4 | Lilo + Stitch

The film tells the story of the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who is engineered to be a force of destruction. Pursuing aliens, social workers and the idea of the bond of family figure into the proceedings.

Movie will be shown on the Beach.

Saturday, July 18 | Field of Dreams

Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his cornfield tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets it as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field.

Movie will be shown at Donegan Park | Field C

Monday, August 3 | Minecraft Movie

Four misfits find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert craftier. Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative-the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Movie will be shown on the Beach.

Saturday, August 22 | Superman

Set within a new DC universe. A few years into his heroics, Superman embarks on a personal quest to understand his Kryptonian heritage and mix it with his upbringing as mild-mannered Clark Kent. But things get complicated when ruthless industrialist Lex Luthor frames Superman for an international incident and plans to put himself on top by bringing Superman down. Now with aid from Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and the Justice Gang, Superman must embrace his lineage and fully become the hero we deserve in order to stop Luthor's plot and save the world.

Movie will be shown on the Beach.

Saturday, September 5 | Hoppers

Animal-lover Mabel seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to “hop” her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. As she uncovers mysteries in the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major imminent human-threat.

Movie will be shown in Victoria Park.
