Beach chairs? Check! Blankets? Check! Ingredients for a healthy picnic? Check! Sounds like you’re ready for a new season of County Parks' Summer Movies in the Park series! Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings.
The program launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’
initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe,
healthy and thriving communities. Each movie event gives residents a
fun reason to visit their local parks with family and friends, and to
settle in with blankets, beach chairs and picnic dinners as they watch
blockbuster movies under a starry night sky. Shows run May through
October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything
in between.
Events begin as early as 6 p.m., though actual start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Check the sunset schedule to see when movies start, by date. Before movies play, many locations provide entertainment like music and dancing, concerts, arts and crafts, games, costume contests, nature discovery tables, live animal exibits and food trucks - so it's worth going early for the pre-show!
