Welcome! Please choose your desired ticket type:
Prepare for an enchanting evening as Parc Downsview Park presents "Movies Under the Stars," featuring the captivating film "Hoppers" in English. This highly anticipated event invites you to settle in for a unique cinematic experience by the serene lakeside, nestled within the sprawling beauty of Downsview Park. Imagine a blanket of stars above, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the magic of film unfolding on a large outdoor screen—it’s an unforgettable night out for friends, families, and movie enthusiasts alike.
On Monday, July 27, 2026, from 9 PM to 11 PM, the south side of the lake at Downsview Park will transform into an open-air movie theater. While the show is scheduled to commence at dusk, approximately 9:00 PM, we highly recommend arriving at least an hour earlier. This allows ample time to find your perfect spot, settle in comfortably, and soak in the pre-movie atmosphere. Early birds might even snag some surprise giveaways from our friendly staff at the Downsview Park tent!
This screening of "Hoppers" is part of a special series, and for those who enjoy film in different languages, please note this showing is in English. A separate French-language movie will be screened at the Meadow, offering diverse options for our community.
Your cinematic journey will take place at Downsview Park, specifically on the Lake's south side for the English screening. The park is a vibrant hub in Toronto, ON, providing a beautiful natural backdrop for our event. For precise navigation, the Orchard Pavilion (Toronto, ON M3K 2C5) will serve as a key landmark, hosting open washroom facilities for the duration of the event.
Accessing the lakeside is convenient: you can enter via Keele Street, close to Downsview Park Boulevard. If you're already exploring the park, simply follow the scenic Circuit Path directly to the Orchard Pavilion. We encourage sustainable transportation methods due to limited parking availability. Consider walking, cycling, or utilizing public transit to make your arrival smooth and eco-friendly.
One of our top priorities is ensuring inclusivity for all attendees. Therefore, all our "Movies Under the Stars" screenings, including "Hoppers," will feature open captions. This commitment to accessibility means everyone can fully engage with the movie's dialogue and enjoy the story.
To ensure your comfort and enjoyment, we've put together a list of recommendations:
