Join the Library of Congress for its 9th annual Summer Movies on the Lawn series on Capitol Hill! This year's lineup celebrates America's 250th anniversary and features five beloved films from the National Film Registry.

Before Back to the Future (1985, PG) begins, enjoy an encore recording of Christian McBride’s spring 2026 Library performance.

No tickets are required for the lawn screenings, but arriving early is recommended as space is limited. Bring your own blankets and chairs.

On Thursdays from 5pm to 8pm, visitors can also enjoy the Library's 'Live! At the Library' experience inside the Jefferson Building (free timed-entry passes required for building entry).
