More than 1,200 Hillsboro residents helped choose this summer’s movie lineup, and now it’s time to break out the blankets, lawn chairs and popcorn.

The city of Hillsboro’s Pix in the Park series is back for five Friday nights in August, screening free outdoor movies in local parks. Each week features a different family-friendly film at a new location, complete with pre-show activities starting at 7:30 p.m. and showtimes at dusk, between 8:15 and 8:45 p.m.

Moviegoers can bring their own food, and snack vendors will be on hand selling kettlecorn, churros and shave ice, depending on the show. Alcohol is not allowed at the events.

Here’s what’s showing in 2025:

Aug. 1: “Rocky II” at Bagley Park, 201 N.E. Jackson St. In this hard-hitting sequel, underdog Rocky Balboa faces off against heavyweight champion Apollo Creed in a high-stakes rematch — with his future and family on the line.
