This Weekend

Thursdays, August 20 – September 17 | Richardson Hall Lawn (The Green), Adams State University

Tonight’s Showing: The Lion King

Starts at: 6 PM

Experience the magic of the San Luis Valley at Big Screen on the Green! This FREE series transforms the heart of campus into an open-air cinema. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the weekend, there’s no better way to cap off a warm summer day than with a free movie night under our famous high-desert stars.

The fun starts at 6 pm! Before the opening credits roll, the lawn comes alive with local food trucks, outdoor games like cornhole and spike ball, and the fan-favorite mini-putt course.

This event is completely free and open to all, making it the perfect budget-friendly outing for families, students, and travelers alike. Movies begin immediately following sunset, but we recommend arriving early to enjoy the local food truck offerings and pre-show games and entertainment. Guests are encouraged to bring their own low-profile lawn chairs or thick blankets for seating on the grass. While snacks are welcome, please note that this is a family-friendly environment designed for all ages to enjoy the cool high-altitude evenings together.
