Jun 30, 2025 08:38AM ● By Bernice Butler

PGA Frisco’s Monument Realty PGA District is inviting North Texas families to unwind and reconnect outdoors with its free Summer Movie Series, returning every Friday night this July.

The open-air screenings take place on the sprawling 900-square-foot video wall, creating an unforgettable backdrop for family-friendly favorites. The lineup includes Elemental on July 11, Camp Rock on July 18, and Finding Nemo on July 25. Movies begin at 8 p.m., and guests are encouraged to arrive early to claim a spot on the lawn with blankets and lawn chairs.

The event is pet-friendly, with leashed furry companions welcome to join in the fun. While outside food and beverages are not permitted, PGA District restaurants will be open throughout the evening, and roaming beverage carts will be available for moviegoers’ convenience.

Located in Frisco, PGA Frisco continues to grow as a lifestyle destination beyond golf, offering year-round programming that supports connection, wellness, and outdoor enjoyment.

“Our Summer Movie Series is about creating simple, joyful experiences,” says PGA Frisco Director of Programming Amanda Thompson. “It’s a way for families to pause, unplug and make summer memories together.”

The Monument Realty PGA District is located at 3255 PGA Parkway in Frisco. Admission is free and no reservations are required.
