Sunset Cinema
Sunset Cinema is our annual outdoor movie series that takes place in Sculpture Park. In partnership with Denver Arts & Venues, every summer is dedicated to films that celebrate a particular genre, director, art form or theme. We also bring in local partners to help us curate the experience with performances, costume contests, games, photo environments, craft cocktails, and more.
Sunset Cinema returns for FREE family fun in 2026, see the lineup below!
