Cinematery is back at Historic Congressional Cemetery, bringing classic monster related films to romp through the grounds with Mausoleums and Monsters! Kick off summer on Friday, May 23rd with the iconic shark thriller Jaws—just when you thought it was safe to go back in the grass. Then, on Friday, June 13th, delight the whole family with the heartwarming chaos of Monsters, Inc..

We’ll turn up the heat again on Friday, August 29th with the sand-swept thrills of The Mummy, and wrap up the season with paranormal perfection on Friday, September 12th as Ghostbusters haunts the cemetery in style. Bring a blanket, your bravest friends, and settle in for a movie night like no other—where the stars shine bright and the dead don’t mind a little company.

In the event of rain, the film will screen on the following Friday evening (please note the below rain dates, May 30, June 20, September 3, September 19).

Feel free to bring your own beverages and food. Alcohol is permitted and will also be for sale. Keep in mind that all guests will be ID checked upon entry. We also recommend bringing your own blankets, low lying lawn chairs, etc. Please do NOT bring chairs that may obstruct the view of those behind you.

Gates open about an hour before sunset and the movie begins at sunset.

Thanks to our 2025 Cemetery Sponsors!
