Big Screen on the Green

Experience the magic of the San Luis Valley at twilight with Big Screen on the Green! This free series transforms the heart of campus into an open-air cinema. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the weekend, there’s no better way to cap off a warm summer day than with a free movie night under our famous high-desert stars.
The fun starts at 6 pm! Before the opening credits roll, the lawn comes alive with local food trucks, outdoor games like cornhole and spike ball, and the fan-favorite mini-putt course.
This event is completely free and open to all, making it the perfect budget-friendly outing for families, students, and travelers alike. Movies begin immediately following sunset, but we recommend arriving early to enjoy the local food truck offerings and pre-show games and entertainment. Guests are encouraged to bring their own low-profile lawn chairs or thick blankets for seating on the grass. While snacks are welcome, please note that this is a family-friendly environment designed for all ages to enjoy the cool high-altitude evenings together.
