In the summertime, music, and entertainment are just better outside. In that department, Louisville’s Iroquois Amphitheater has you covered — literally.
On Monday, the venue announced its season lineup for performances, kicking off April 26 with indie rock band Modest Mouse. It also announced the return of its free summer movie series and the return of the Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular, now in its 10th year, which will take place at the park from Oct. 4-31. This year’s theme is “Fan Favorites,” where fans can vote for favorite scenes from the past 10 years of the popular show.
New in 2022, the fourth year of Winter Woods Spectacular at the park in south Louisville is going to become a walk-through event. Around 500 Christmas trees will line the same paths as used for the Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular put on by Parks Alliance of Louisville.

Iroquois Amphitheater has a long history of providing a space for entertainment for the Louisville community. The venue was constructed in 1938 during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration initiative. Today it is a state-of-the-art, handicapped-accessible theater nestled in beautiful Iroquois Park, 1080 Amphitheater Road. With seats for over 2,000 fans, it is 100% outdoors with the added advantage of a roof.
“There are some incredible events coming to the theater this summer,” said Mayor Greg Fischer. ”It’s another great piece of evidence that exciting in-person events are returning”
The free summer movie series events start on May 27. The free series, includes “Jungle Cruise,” on May 27, “Respect” on June 6, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” on June 13, “Grease,” on June 20, and closes with “Jaws” on June 27. Movies begin at 8:30 p.m.

“People love this place. If you go out on a summer night, there isn’t a bad seat in the house and it’s just amazing,” said Jon Reiter, Metro Parks spokesman. “If you haven’t been to a show at Iroquois, you really need to make it a point to get there this summer.”
