Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Network event45 attendees from 2 groups hostingFREE Movie Night: "The Goonies" on the sand in Long BeachRosie's Dog Beach, Long Beach, CA
I'm excited to invite you to a free outdoor screening of one of my favorite movies growing up, The Goonies. We'll be meeting on the sand at Granada Beach in Long Beach.
Bring your chair, blanket, snacks, and a beverage. We will be getting there a little early to reserve a good spot. You'll see a few flags around our area, so you know where to meet us. FYI, when the movie starts, we'll have to take down the flag, and it's dark, so it will be difficult to find us.
If you're a food truck connoisseur, you get to stock up at the food trucks that will be set up.
Timeline:
- 7:30pm or earlier to get a good spot
- 8:00pm-8:30pm - Movie starts (lights out)
- 9:45pm-10:00pm - Time to go home. :)
Parking:
This event attracts hundreds of people, so get there early to find a good spot. If you can walk or carpool, I'd recommend it.
FYI - This event will have a lot of people. It's being hosted by our friends at www.moonlightmoviesonthebeach.com if you want to get more details.I'll be cross-posting this event in two of my groups so you can hopefully make some new friends, and of course, you can bring your friends too! :)
See you there!
