Downsview Park Friday Night Lights is back for another year! This year we will be changing our 4th annual movie nights at the park to a drive-in experience! 

We have partnered up with MADE|NOUS to celebrate the works of Canadian creators in film. Please visit www.made-nous.ca for more Canadian content! All our featured films this summer were either shot in Canada, post-production in Canada and include Canadian actors/directors. We are proud to bring you these movies knowing that it was all done where we call home! We have an exciting line up of movies this summer that will make you think, make you laugh, make you scared, make you cry and make you believe.
