From the beach at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk to parks in San Jose, Alameda and more, summer movie season offers free family-friendly fun outdoors.
On the Town Green in Danville. At the beach in Santa Cruz. On the grounds of the former Alameda naval air station. And in parks from San Jose and Cupertino to Dublin and San Pablo.
And, perhaps, “a chance to see a film on the big screen that you haven’t had for 35 years,” said Redwood City park events coordinator Brandon Council, who likes to occasionally book throwback movies or classics for the city’s Movies on the Square series, which will run on Thursdays through Aug. 31. A digital LED screen means Redwood City doesn’t have to wait until the sun sets to show flicks at Courthouse Square. So they’re taking advantage of the technology and scheduling double features. “Every other week,” he said, “we show a children’s movie at 6 p.m., which allows them to make their bedtime.” The main feature starts at 8:30 p.m. On the off weeks, an independent film is slotted at 8 p.m.
Both the Danville and Redwood City event sites are located in restaurant-rich downtown districts, making it convenient for filmgoers to grab takeout dinner for a picnic too.After launching its Starlight Movies in the Park series in May at Bohol Circle Immigrant Park, the Alameda Recreation and Park Department will move the July/August viewings of “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” “Lightyear” and “Space Jam: A New Legacy” to Alameda Point and then wrap up Sept.
The movies all have the kid seal of approval. Or at least teenager approval. Mountain View’s Youth Advisory Committee, composed of middle school and high school students, makes the selections.
