What's Coming
Summer Movie Series
Come out to Rancho Bernardo Community Park this summer for our Summer Movie Series. This year we will have 3 showings, all free for the Rancho Bernardo community. All movies begin just after dusk, so remember to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and whatever else you may have to make yourself comfortable for a movie under the stars. The first movie will be Moana on Friday July 28th. Our second movie will be on Saturday August 19th, we will be showing the Secret Lives of Pets. We will have a watermelon eating contest prior to the movie, so bring your appetite and some wet wipes. The third and final movie of the Series will be on Friday September 1st, and will be the classic, Wizard of Oz. Bring the whole family out to the park for one or more of these movies and treat them to a great experience.
