What it was like
You’ve seen Shrek. You’ve quoted Shrek. You’ve sent the “Somebody once told me” meme to at least three people this year. But you haven’t watched Shrek on a massive screen in Griffith Park surrounded by food trucks while a drone show lights up the sky afterward.
Street Food Cinema’s August 22 screening at The Autry Museum grounds is one of those nights LA does better than anywhere: outdoors, warm, a bar on site, food vendors lining the path, and a movie that hits differently when a hundred strangers are laughing at the same Donkey line. Doors open at 5:30pm. The movie rolls at 8pm. Then the drones.
The drone show is exclusive to this screening — you won’t get this combo anywhere else in the city this summer. General admission is $38, car entry $44. Dogs are welcome. Parking is free.
This is a date night. This is a friend group night. This is a bring-a-blanket-and-claim-your-spot-early night. The Autry’s Griffith Park location means you’re eating tacos while the Hollywood sign watches.
