Movies on the Mall

Join Independence Historical Trust and the Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation for “Movies On The Mall,” an outdoor movie series celebrating the themes and history of Independence National Historical Park.  

The monthly series will begin on Friday August 30, 2024, screening “National Treasure” at 7:30 p.m. The beloved Disney classic features scenes set and filmed in Old City and throughout Philadelphia, including at Independence Hall, The Liberty Bell, Reading Terminal Market, City Hall, Old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, and the Franklin Institute. 

In addition to the film screenings, the Visitor Center and the Trust will host family-friendly activities starting at 5:00 p.m. throughout the series. Attendees will be able to enjoy historical 18th Century games, participate in a National Treasure-style scavenger hunt, take part in family friendly arts and crafts, and enjoy refreshments from the Liberty Garden beer garden on Independence Mall.
