Join us for IF on July 25 at Live Oak Park. On various Friday evenings through September, enjoy outdoor movies as a community in Berkeley parks.
Bring friends and family to one of our hillside parks on Friday night to watch Cars 3, the latest in our summer movie series.
The free movie series runs through September and makes stops in neighborhood parks across Berkeley, stretching from the flats to the hills, from south to north.
You’ll see the movies on a large 20-foot by 12-foot inflatable movie screen with premium audio-visual equipment designed for outdoor cinema.
Cars 3
July 11, 8:40 pm
Glendale La Loma Park, 1310 Glendale Avenue
Come gather with Berkeleyans from around the city and enjoy some of our treasures — our parks — at these movie nights under the stars.
Plan for a smooth movie night experience
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the movie's start time. Limited street parking is available, but we encourage using public transit, biking, or walking. If you do drive, please park responsibly and avoid blocking nearby driveways.
Bring blankets and sleeping bags to stay warm. If you bring a chair, avoid blocking the view of others by using only low-back beach chairs with seats no higher than 9 inches off the ground. A flashlight or headlamp makes walking out at the end of the night easier.
If you require subtitles, please email your request to Joaquim Lee at jolee@berkeleyca.gov or call or text (510) 926-1458 at least two days prior to the movie screening date.
This is an alcohol-free event.
