City slickers, brace yourselves for an elevated movie-watching experience that throws it back to the days when open skies and reel magic were all the rage - City Cinemas is reprising its role in Santa Clarita this summer and it's all sorts of free. Let's be real, an outdoor flick is just what the doctor ordered after the grind of city life. This isn’t your garden variety movie night; it's a whole mood set by none other than Henry Rodriguez State Farm who's bankrolling this nostalgic trip.
Kicking off in July and running once a month through October, cinephiles can catch classics and the latest hits at various idyllic parks throughout the city. Pack your picnic blankies and those foldable throne-of-leisure chairs. There are going to be open spaces aplenty, perfect for that much-needed sprawl under the stars. Thinking of munching on something? On-site food trucks will be ready to serve up the goods an hour before showtime, according to the City of Santa Clarita’s official announcement.
And it's not just any lineup. Imagine this - 'Barbie' in all her PG-13 glory, launching the series on July 26 at Central Park. Following her lead, 'Toy Story', 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle', and 'The Super Mario Bros Movie' will light up the park's silver screen in the subsequent months, with showtimes that are laden with just the right amount of that summer evening zest, as per the City of Santa Clarita.
For those eager to jot down their summer plans, here's the scoop – the series sticks its landing at Central Park with 'Barbie' on July 26, 8 p.m. The nostalgia trip continues with 'Toy Story' at Bridgeport Park, on August 23, 8 p.m. Before you're ready for sweater weather, 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' roars in at The Centre on September 27, 7 p.m. Capping off the season, 'The Super Mario Bros Movie' takes the screen at The Centre on October 25, also at 7 p.m. Getting a seat under the stars for these screenings won't cost a nickel, just your admission that outdoor cinema is a vibe that can't be replicated.
