Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview to host outdoor movie screenings this summer

A beloved Oregon classic, animated favorites, space adventures, and a blockbuster that showcases the might and ferocity of dinosaurs.

There are plenty of great flicks to catch this summer in local parks.

Gresham, Troutdale and Fairview have all released their schedule of summer outdoor movies. All are free to attend, and people are encouraged to bring blankets and low-backed chairs and snacks. Alcohol, smoking and vaping is not allowed at any of the movie events. Pets should also be left at home.
