Movie Nights at White River State Park - Shrek

Movie Nights at White River State Park invites families to settle in at Celebration Plaza for an outdoor movie series set against the Indy skyline. In partnership with Heartland Film, each evening includes a feature film along with a Heartland Film-curated short, creating an easy summer outing for all ages.

Guests are welcome to bring blankets and lawn chairs and can purchase popcorn, snacks, soda and water during the event. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and validated parking is available in the White River State Park underground garage while spaces last.

In case of inclement weather, each movie will move to a listed rain date, and ticket holders will be notified by email with updates also shared online and on social media.
