Movies on the Memorial
About The Event
If you’re looking for fun outdoors, the perfect date night, or a chance to decompress, the Navy Memorial has you covered. Pack some snacks, grab a blanket, and relax under the stars with the Lone Sailor this summer at Movies on the Memorial – a series of outdoor film screenings that celebrate rich maritime heritage.
It’s the ultimate lineup for film lovers, history buffs, and naval enthusiasts to enjoy on a spacious outdoor plaza. Be captivated by a wide array of Navy-themed films, from classics like The Caine Mutiny to Hollywood favorites like Top Gun.
Movies will begin at dusk, but arrive early to get a prime spot on the Granite Sea. Concessions will be sold in the Navy Memorial Visitor Center.
