Looking for something out of the ordinary for a night out – whether with some friends, your family, or a date? You could go to a movie, buy tickets for a concert or catch a local band, or find a unique place to eat. Or even better, you can take advantage of a series of events that puts all of that together in one epic night – music, food, and great outdoor movies in Los Angeles.
For 12 years, Street Food Cinema has been throwing epic outdoor parties, full of food, fun, and entertainment. LA’s largest outdoor movie and music series takes place every Saturday until the end of October.
This is more than just another movie in the park. It’s an entire experience. Street food cinema brings together local food trucks, live bands, great movies, and a variety of fun activities.
Street Food Cinema takes place at a different venue in the Los Angeles area each week. Locations include places like The Autry Museum, Will Rogers State Park, Santa Anita Racetrack, West Los Angeles College, golf courses, and even drive-in theaters.
A wide variety of movies will be shown, from modern classics like The Karate Kid, Dirty Dancing, and Indian Jones to family favorites like Parent Trap, School of Rock, and Scooby Doo.
Each event will be attended by several food trucks and guests can expect to enjoy all kinds of food, including wood-fired pizza, burgers, pasta, tacos, barbecue, Hawaiian, hot wings, Vietnamese and Korean cuisine, and even ice cream.
In addition to a host of local gourmet food trucks on hand, many locations feature a full bar for grown-up guests as well as a variety of local vendors.
Before every movie, attendees will enjoy live musical performances by local bands that range from rock bands to soul singers to 70s-inspired pop, and everything else.
Entertainment will come in other forms as well, with MCs, comedians, and DJs, interactive audience games, themed photo opportunities, and even special guest appearances.
