The 1st day of Summer is June 20, just a few days away. As a result, it’s time for several popular events in Carlsbad including Flicks at the Fountain, a long-time favorite. Flicks is hosted by the Carlsbad Village Association.
Flicks at the Fountain take place on 5 consecutive Thursday nights. Furthermore, the series begins July 11 and ends August 8.
Movies (rated G, PG and PG-13) were decided by popular vote from residents. As a result, here’s the 2024 movie schedule.
DAY 1 – July 11 – The Little Mermaid (G)
July 18 – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (G)
July 25 – Trolls (PG)
August 1 – Barbie (PG-13)
August 8 – Guardians of the Galaxy (PG-13)
The Flicks at the Fountain are held on a big screen in the parking lot by the Fountain. The parking lot is at the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue. Seating begins at 6 pm and movies start at dusk, about 8 pm, and end around 10 pm.
Be sure to bring blankets for chilly Summer evenings by the beach, along with comfortable low-back chairs.
Plan to bring some food/snacks and drinks, too. Otherwise, make life easier and buy take-out at one of the nearby restaurants in the Village. On the other hand, you could have pizza delivered to the parking lot.
