Ventura, California: Outdoor Movies in Ventura Parks

The City of Ventura Cultural Affairs Division held four consecutive Saturday outdoor movie screenings across four city parks in fall 2008. The series opened September 20 at Westpark with La Misma Luna (Under the Same Moon) -- shown in Spanish with English subtitles, preceded by local mariachi group Halcones del Rey. Subsequent parks screened The Wizard of Oz, Hairspray, and Edward Scissorhands, each with live performances before the film. Screenings began at 6 p.m.; blankets and picnic dinners encouraged.
