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, 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!

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.

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.

Tragically Hip: A National Celebration | Saturday, August 22

Ten years ago, The Tragically Hip played their final show in Kingston, about an hour down the 401 from Cobourg, and an estimated one-third of Canadians tuned in to CBC's live broadcast that night. On Saturday, August 22, CBC is airing the full concert again, commercial-free. Experience Cobourg is hosting a local watch party outside on the big screen.

You are invited to arrive before the concert starts airing at 7 p.m., listen to some music and enjoy some of the last days of summer outside the Cobourg Marina. This event will be licensed, and food will be available for purchase.

Bring a chair, some friends and your best Canadian stories. The harbour is as good a place as any to watch a hometown band's send-off, one more time.
