Midtown Movie Night: Wicked and free popcorn

Wicked is showing outdoors at 10th Street Park on Thursday, October 15, as part of a series of free movie nights the Midtown Alliance is hosting across the park. It's the 2024 version of the story, and like the other screenings in the series, it comes with free popcorn. The night is one of several free outdoor movies and concerts the city is putting on throughout 2026, so it's a good one to slot into a larger autumn of free things to do.

Since it's an outdoor screening, the timing is tied to the light. The projector rolls at dusk, which means the start time can shift a bit depending on when the sun actually goes down. The listed window is 7:30 to 9:30 PM, but keep that dusk detail in mind if you're planning your evening around it. The organizers suggest bringing your own chairs or a blanket to sit on, and there's a free bike valet on hand if you're riding over.

10th Street Park is at 1005 Peachtree Street in Midtown, and the screening is free. If you're coming from outside the neighborhood, the bike valet makes it a bit easier to roll in and out without hunting for parking. Between the free popcorn and the free admission, it's a low-stakes way to spend a Thursday night in the city. Wicked runs from 7:30 to 9:30 PM, with the projector rolling at dusk.
