Mac KID Guide to Outdoor Movies and Concerts in Westchester County

Mark your calendars for summer season fun!

By Kelly Fitzpatrick July 7, 2024

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 2024 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!

This guide is in progress as dates are announced! Always check websites prior to travel.


The Westchester County Outdoor Movies and Concerts Summer 2024 Guide is brought to you by Cr8tor Incubator.

Cre8tor Incubator is excited to offer new creative technology summer workshops for kids in July and August in Scarsdale.

With new sessions every week, parents can enroll their children for one week or the entire summer! Additionally, Cre8tor Incubator offers a robust after-school program starting in September.

The Cre8tor Incubator summer workshops feature a unique curriculum encompassing creative and technical activities to help kids master platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitch, and Meta. Targeted at ages 7-14, Cre8tor Incubator programs are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Students will immerse themselves in a collaborative learning environment, covering content creation, AI, channel growth, online safety, and best practices. Guided by expert instructors, children will learn to navigate the digital world confidently, creatively, and safely.
