The first of seven Friday nights of outside movies begins at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Gardens. This year’s theme is ‘Mixtapes and Misfits.’ The screenings start at 8:30 p.m. with DJ entertainment prior to the films.
Seating Policy
Those attending who want the best viewing areas must arrive before noon with their blankets and chairs. The rules require movie fans to wait at their spot and not open their blankets until exactly noon.
Mike Rojas with UCSB Arts & Lectures said, ‘at noon you are welcomed to place your stuff and leave it, before that anything left unattended we put it in what we lovingly call the ‘pile of shame.”
Chris Buck, a movie fan, arrived at 9 a.m. and brought his coffee and chair. Michelle Sotello knows there is a high back chair limit so viewing is not blocked.
Food and Entertainment
Some restaurants in the area are offering movie night food deals. A whole group sets up on the second level, closer to Anapamu street, where they can see the screen perfectly and hear clear audio.
Katie Zimmerman said, ‘I actually have chosen this area before, this upper area I think it is pretty epic this spot.’ For more information, visit UCSB Arts & Lectures Summer Cinema.
