All across Maine this summer are a number of cities and towns playing outdoor movies for free, and Portland is joining in on the fun.

Portland Downtown shared on its website that its first-ever Movies on the Monument would premiere in 2026.

That means from July through September, you can watch a movie right in Monument Square.
