Newfields Summer Nights: Hamilton

The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series is back at Newfields this summer, and this year the beloved tradition celebrates 50 years of flicks and fun. Grab your family and friends, pack a blanket or a few chairs, and settle in for movies under the stars. The 2026 lineup stretches across decades, mixing timeless classics, recent hits, and short films. Concessions and drinks are available on site, but you are welcome to bring your own picnic and non-alcoholic beverages. Toss some sunscreen and bug spray in your bag while you are at it.

Hamilton

Celebrate America’s 250th with Lin Manuel Miranda’s ode to Alexander Hamilton, as he rises from an orphaned immigrant to a founding father. Singing along is encouraged at this screening. Before the film, join the chalk art celebration.
