What it was like
Street Food Cinema's outdoor screening of Mamma Mia! fills Grand Hope Park in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Doors open at 5:30 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:15 PM.
The 2008 musical starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, and Pierce Brosnan, with an ABBA soundtrack driving every scene, has become one of the most enthusiastically crowd-watched films on the outdoor cinema circuit. This is the kind of screening where people sing along, and that is the point.
Grand Hope Park is a small urban green space at 9th and Hope Streets in the South Park neighborhood of downtown LA. The lawn fills quickly for Street Food Cinema events here, so arrive early. On-site vendors provide food and drinks; the pre-show DJ set is typically matched to the film's energy.
Tickets are available at the Street Food Cinema website. This event tends to sell out. Secure yours in advance and come ready to dance.
