Picnic & a Movie (in the Eastside Cemeteries!)

Picnic & a Movie – a FREE event in the Historic Eastside Cemeteries!
To honor the tradition of families lunching in the cemeteries, we’re inviting San Antonio to enjoy a free evening in the beautiful Historic Eastside Cemeteries. Bring your own picnics, blankets, and chairs, and enjoy some cinema magic under the stars.
We will be screening the original 1995 film Jumanji as part of San Antonio's Preservation Month celebrations, which highlight the legacy of the Historic Eastside Cemeteries, where generations of San Antonians are laid to rest.
Location
The event will take place in City Cemetery #1, located along Paso Hondo Street between Monumental and N Palmetto Streets, across from the National Cemetery at 517 Paso Hondo. Look for signage and park along the city streets between the cemeteries.
Hosted by the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), this free event also celebrates our ongoing work with the Cemetery Stewardship Program — a dedicated volunteer initiative to care for and preserve these sacred spaces.
