All these outdoor Movies in the Park are FREE all summer long. If you’re looking for what to do with kids this summer in Medford or Central Point, get these family movie nights on your calendar.

We keep a special picnic blanket (aff link) in our car for events like this. And with the summer heat we decided to grab this portable misting fan (aff link) to keep cool and keep our kiddo from melting down. Its rechargeable and doesn’t need anything to clip on to. Its allowed us to stay longer at events quite a few times already. I always have a bag filled with movie snacks, but sometimes the movies in the park will have food trucks. Be sure to check their social media pages to see what options they’ll have available.

We love this experience so much we decided to recreate it at home. We grabbed an inexpensive projector (aff link) online and this inflatable screen for outdoors (aff link) to make our own backyard movie theater. When the weather isn’t great or we want to have an afternoon showing, we set up the projector on a wall in the living room. Cheaper than going to the movies- and we can pause and take a break if my little one isn’t wanting to finish the movie in one sitting. Its been one of the best things we’ve purchased for sure.
