Ivy Station Outdoor Cinema: Ferris Bueller's Day Off — June 27

They believed a summer evening in Culver City could be the kind of night you tell someone about later — and that the right movie could do more work than any designed activation. The Ivy Station outdoor screening series opens June 27 with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a film that has been arguing for spontaneity for forty years and hasn't lost the thread.

The movie is a case study in taking the day seriously — using a Tuesday like it's the last one you'll get, not something to survive. Watching it outside in summer, when the air is warm and the sun has just gone down, the argument lands differently than it does on a couch in January. You leave wanting to do something with tomorrow.

Ivy Station is a few minutes from the Expo Line on Washington Boulevard, and the plaza has the proportions that make an outdoor screen feel right-sized: close enough that you're in the film, wide enough that the crowd doesn't feel like a packed venue. Come early for good real estate. Bring a blanket or chairs.

Free to attend. Film starts at dusk. June 27, 2026. Ivy Station, 8800 Washington Blvd, Culver City.
