About Christie Pits - Toronto Outdoor Picture Show

Located at Christie Pits Park in Toronto’s west end, Toronto Outdoor Picture Show – Christie Pits is one of the city’s most iconic outdoor film experiences and the original home of the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show festival. Since launching at Christie Pits in 2011, the series has transformed summer evenings into free open-air cinema events where audiences gather on the hillside with blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy feature films, Canadian short films, and special guest programming under the stars. Designed as an accessible, community-driven cultural experience, Christie Pits screenings combine independent film culture, local storytelling, and the atmosphere of one of Toronto’s most beloved neighbourhood parks. Conveniently located near Bloor Street West, this seasonal event has become a summertime tradition for families, film lovers, and visitors exploring Toronto’s outdoor arts scene.
