This summer, residents can enjoy two free outdoor movies and a live Astrovan concert.

Loveland’s 150th anniversary celebration is still going strong this summer, and Ready 2 Roll Moving is honored to remain part of the citywide program. As a Samuel Butterworth Cornerstone Sponsor, we’re supporting the upcoming Loveland 150th anniversary summer events. These summer events in Loveland include two outdoor movies and one live concert. The summer fun begins July 25 at Phillips Park. Then, Astrovan performs July 26 on the City Hall Lawn. One final movie night follows Aug. 29 at Phillips Park. All three events are free and open to the community. They give families affordable plans during Loveland’s anniversary year.
The summer fun starts with Back to the Future
The festivities continue Saturday, July 25, with Back to the Future at Phillips Park. The movie begins at sunset. The city currently lists a 9 p.m. start at 11667 Rich Road. Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. Guests should bring lawn chairs or blankets for comfortable seating.
Released in 1985, Back to the Future became a favorite across generations. The story follows teenager Marty McFly after an unexpected trip into 1955. However, getting home becomes only part of his challenge. Marty must also protect his family’s future. The film combines adventure, comedy, memorable characters, and a well-known soundtrack. Therefore, it offers something for both younger viewers and longtime fans.
It also feels fitting during Loveland’s anniversary year. The movie looks back through time as the city honors 150 years. Families can settle in and enjoy a familiar classic outdoors. Best of all, no tickets are required.
Guests should arrive early enough to find a good spot. They should also check the weather before leaving home. Keep an eye on the city calendar for final timing updates.
Local music leads the summer events in Loveland
The celebration continues the very next evening. Astrovan performs Sunday, July 26, on the City Hall Lawn. The free concert runs from 6 to 8 p.m.
Astrovan is a fast-rising Loveland band with growing regional recognition. Their music has already reached listeners beyond the local community. Their breakout song, “Three Point Night,” became FC Cincinnati’s victory anthem. It now plays following home victories at TQL Stadium. The band blends indie pop with heartland rock and country influences. They call that sound “Outlaw Indie.” Expect strong guitar work, memorable hooks, and an energetic live performance. The city also describes their music as melodic and family-friendly.
That hometown success makes Astrovan a strong fit for this anniversary lineup. Residents can support local musicians during a major year for Loveland. Guests can bring chairs and settle in for the evening. Nearby restaurants also make the concert easy to pair with dinner. Loveland’s Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area will operate during the show. Visitors should follow all posted DORA boundaries and rules.
We’re especially glad to support events featuring local talent. They give residents a chance to enjoy original music close to home. They also give Loveland artists a larger community stage.
Ghostbusters wraps up the summer movie series
The summer movie series returns Saturday, Aug. 29. This time, Ghostbusters takes over the screen at Phillips Park. The movie begins at sunset, with 9 p.m. currently listed. Admission is free, and all ages may attend.
Released in 1984, Ghostbusters remains one of that decade’s best-known comedies. It combines humor, adventure, supernatural action, and memorable characters. The story follows four unlikely heroes protecting New York from paranormal threats. Its familiar theme song also remains instantly recognizable. Seeing the movie outdoors gives this classic a fresh setting. Families can spread out and enjoy a relaxed summer evening.
Longtime fans can revisit favorite scenes with a community audience. Meanwhile, younger viewers can discover the movie on a larger screen. Phillips Park creates an easy setting for that shared experience. It also offers one final community movie night before summer ends.
Before heading out, check the forecast and city calendar. Outdoor plans and start times may change.
What our Cornerstone Sponsorship means
Ready 2 Roll selected the Samuel Butterworth Cornerstone Sponsorship level. Samuel Butterworth surveyed Virginia Military Lands during the late 18th century. His early work helped mark settlement within the area. Our sponsorship includes recognition throughout Loveland’s anniversary program.

The real value comes from supporting gatherings like these. Free movie nights give families affordable entertainment. Local concerts create space for hometown musicians. These events also strengthen Loveland’s community life. They offer simple ways to meet neighbors and explore the city. That matters to our team because Loveland is more than our headquarters. Our employees live, work, and raise families here.
Ready 2 Roll also helps families move throughout Greater Cincinnati with our comprehensive moving services. We understand that settling into a community takes more than unpacking boxes. Public events can help a new location start feeling familiar. They also remind longtime residents what makes their city special. We’re grateful to support the city’s anniversary program. We also thank the organizers, volunteers, performers, and local partners involved.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone supporting Loveland’s anniversary year. City staff, volunteers, performers, sponsors, and residents all play an important role. Their work gives the community more reasons to gather and celebrate together. We’re honored to take part as a Cornerstone Sponsor and support these summer events in Loveland. If you’re heading to one of these events, come enjoy the celebration. We’d love to see you there. And if a move is part of your plans, Ready 2 Roll is here to help.
