Welcome to Seattle Center
Experience FREE movies outdoors at Seattle Center each summer. Picnic on the gently sloping Mural Amphitheatre lawn, in front of a state-of-the-art 40-foot screen, with the Space Needle looming above. The series features popular movies, both classic and contemporary, appropriate for all-ages. Movies at the Mural is an outdoor cinema experience like no other!
Movies begin at dusk (about 9pm) Fridays in August. Each feature is preceded by a short film by students at Cornish College for the Arts and alumni of the UW Professional & Continuing Education's (PCE) Film & Video Production certificate program.
The 2025 Movie line-up will be announced in May. Stay tuned!
