Outdoor Movie: Back to the Future

Jun 20, 2026 $15-25 4700 Western Heritage Way, The Aut…

Street Food Cinema screens Back to the Future at The Autry Museum in Griffith Park on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:30 PM. The 1985 Robert Zemeckis classic starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd holds a particular energy when screened outdoors. The crowd knows every line, every sound effect, every note of the Alan Silvestri score, and they will make themselves heard. It is a communal experience more than a private viewing. The Autry Museum is at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027, in Griffith Park. The event features on-site food vendors, pre-show DJ, and lawn space for blankets and low-back chairs. Parking is available throughout Griffith Park. Tickets are sold through Street Food Cinema's website. This event traditionally sells out, especially in the long June evenings, so booking ahead is essential. Arrive before doors for the best lawn position.

Los Angeles Film Festival 2026

Jun 10 – Jun 19, 2026 Downtown Los Angeles, CA 90015

Most film festivals are built for the people who fly in. This one is built for the people who already live here, which changes what gets programmed. Ten days of American independent and international cinema each June across venues in and around downtown — narrative features, documentaries, shorts, animation. Films land here for their West Coast or US premieres, in the window between the spring circuit and the fall awards run, when a picture can still be discovered rather than anointed. The programming reflects an industry audience that watches for a living, which is a different bar than what plays well abroad. Filmmakers stay for the post-screening conversations. Panels run on distribution and financing. The Screenwriting and Music in Film Awards close the run. Venues shift year to year across the DTLA arts district. Tickets and passes are on the LAFF website with the schedule. Go to something you have never heard of. That is the entire point of a festival.

Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival 2026

Jun 19, 2026 Leimert Park Village, 4395 Leimert…

There are neighborhoods a city assigns to a community, and there are neighborhoods a community builds for itself. This is the second kind, and one day a year it stops being subtle about it. Drum circles. Jazz and DJ sets. Spoken word. Wellness programming. A marketplace of Black-owned vendors selling food, art, clothing and handmade goods down the length of the village. The Freedom Ride arrives mid-morning on 9, 14 and 19-mile routes, which makes this one of the few festivals that moves through the streets it celebrates instead of only standing in them. Leimert Park has anchored Black creative life in Los Angeles since the 1940s. John Coltrane played here. Eso Won Books sold Black literature here since 1988. When something matters, this is where people come. June 19. Free. 4395 Leimert Blvd — Metro's K Line stops at Leimert Park Station. Bring cash for vendors. June 19 is not a performance of celebration here. It is the real thing.

Airplane! Live with Julie Hagerty and Robert Hays!

Jun 17, 2026 2200 East Katella Ave., Grove of A…

Grove of Anaheim, 2200 East Katella Ave. June 17th. Airplane! — the 1980 comedy that ran a joke-per-second ratio that no studio comedy has equaled since, delivered in a theater by Julie Hagerty and Robert Hays, the actual stars of the film, who are present for a live screening event that has no equivalent. Airplane! is the film that trained a generation to expect something funny every five seconds. The straight-faced performances, the background gags, the layered jokes that only land on the third viewing, the Leslie Nielsen deadpan that preceded the Naked Gun era — all of it is in the print that plays at the Grove of Anaheim. And then, after the film, the people who made it are in the room. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 17th. A live Q&A with the stars following a theatrical screening of Airplane! is not an event that happens regularly. The audience that fills the Grove on this night will have quotes memorized and questions ready. Come knowing the film. Come ready to laugh in a room full of people who love it as much as you do. "Don't call me Shirley." — you know the rest.

LA Comic Book Convention June 2026

Monthly · Next Sep 14 $4-$8 Shrine Auditorium, 665 W Jefferson…

The regulars know each other. That is the first thing you notice — you have walked into a room with a history. The longest-running monthly pop culture convention in Los Angeles, and the floor shows it. Dealer tables with original comic art, golden and silver age books, horror movie posters, vintage paperbacks, and people who have been collecting long enough to know exactly what they are holding. The range is the pleasure of it. A box of beat-up Bronze Age books next to a signed original piece next to a stack of sci-fi paperbacks somebody clearly loved and somebody clearly let go of. If you bring a want list the dealers will dig for you. If you do not bring one, you leave with one. Sunday morning is the quietest session and the right entry point if you are new — dealers dealing, collectors talking to collectors, the whole floor laid out in front of you. Shrine Auditorium, 665 W Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles. No activation booths, no photo-op queues. Just the floor.

Street Food Cinema screens The Birdcage in its 30th anniversary year at The Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:30 PM. The 1996 Mike Nichols comedy starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane remains one of the warmest, funniest ensemble films of its decade. Watching it outdoors with a crowd that loves it produces the best version of an already great film. The Autry Museum provides a picturesque lawn setting in the foothills of Griffith Park at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Parking is available within Griffith Park. Food vendors, DJ music, and lawn games are on-site before showtime. Bring blankets or low-back chairs. Tickets are sold through the Street Food Cinema website. Outdoor screening events at The Autry sell out regularly in summer, so securing tickets in advance is strongly recommended.

The Miracle Theater, 226 Market St, Inglewood. June 13th. Cult Classics Cinema Presents Dreamgirls — the 2006 film that brought the Motown-era musical to the screen with Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy, presented at a venue in Inglewood that understands exactly what this film means to the community that fills the room. Dreamgirls is not just a good film. It is the film where Jennifer Hudson delivered one of the most discussed single performances of the 2000s in "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Watching that scene in a theater, with an audience that came specifically to be in the room for it, is the version of that moment that the movie theater was built for. The collective response to a performance that earns it is not something a living room replicates. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 13th at the Miracle Theater. Cult Classics Cinema curates these screenings with intention — the audience that shows up for a Dreamgirls screening at this venue has a relationship to the material. Come ready to feel something. The theater will take care of the rest.

DESERT SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL - A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S

Jun 13, 2026 128 S. Palm Canyon Dr., Plaza Thea…

The Desert Shakespeare Festival brings A Midsummer Night's Dream to Palm Springs in June — and the coincidence of Shakespeare's most enchanted play landing in a desert city at the peak of its warmest season is not lost on anyone in the room. The Plaza Theatre is a 1936 Spanish Colonial Revival venue that handles theatrical productions with the weight of a building built for exactly this. The acoustics work. The sightlines earn the architecture. A Midsummer Night's Dream in this room — the fairies, the lovers, the donkey, the mechanicals and their play within a play — reads as the kind of theatrical experience that reminds you why live performance exists when a screen approximation doesn't. Shakespeare in June in Palm Springs means the Plaza handles the climate so you don't have to think about it. The play is funny, and it is funnier in a room of people laughing together than it is on any page. Tickets at ticketmaster.com — the Festival brings professional production values to one of the most frequently performed plays in the Western canon, which means the baseline is high before the curtain goes up. Lock your seats before the summer dates fill.

LA Galaxy Night at Street Food Cinema brings the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham to Grand Hope Park in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in partnership with the LA Galaxy.

The film follows a British-Indian teenager defying her family's expectations to pursue professional soccer, featuring a breakout performance from Keira Knightley and a soundtrack that holds up.

Grand Hope Park is located in the South Park neighborhood of downtown LA at 9th and Hope Streets, easily walkable from the South Park METRO stop. Bring a blanket or low chairs. On-site vendors provide food and drinks before the screening. Tickets are available through Street Food Cinema's website.

Dandadan: First Encounter brings the wildest anime of 2025 to U.S. theaters on June 6, 2026 — a limited theatrical run from GKIDS and Fathom Events that packages the first arc of the beloved series for the big screen experience it deserves. The series follows Momo Ayase, who believes in ghosts but not aliens, and Ken Okarun, who believes in aliens but not ghosts — until the day they both turn out to be right. What follows is a supernatural action comedy that mixes paranormal investigator energy with shounen battle sequences and genuine emotional depth. The theatrical presentation brings the animation's kinetic visual style — OLM's dynamic direction, Eunyoung Choi's fluid action choreography — to a format where the scale actually registers. GKIDS theatrical screenings typically run at AMC, Regal, and Cinemark locations with subtitled and dubbed options. Check your local listings for exact showtimes and theater availability in Los Angeles and San Diego. This is not a watch-at-home event. The theatrical window is limited. If you've already watched the series on Netflix, this is the original Japanese broadcast presentation — the one that made the animation community stop what it was doing when it premiered. Tickets available through Fandango and the AMC app. Limited dates, limited theaters.

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.

Alamo Drafthouse San Diego. May 30th. $12. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End gets a special screening in a room designed to be the right room for it — Drafthouse, full service, the film playing in the dark with the kind of audience that chose to see it in a theater because they understood what that meant. Frieren is the anime that caught people off guard. It looks like a fantasy adventure and operates as a meditation on time and grief and the way memory functions in the people left behind. The pacing is deliberate. The emotional payoff arrives when you're not defending against it. Watching it in a theater, surrounded by people who came for exactly this, in a venue that takes cinema seriously enough to build its entire identity around it — that is the version of this story that lands differently. Alamo Drafthouse got this right. $12. May 30th. Reserve your seat at drafthouse.com/san-diego. Come before the show starts — the pre-show programming at Drafthouse is curated, not filler. If you've been watching Frieren at home and want to see what an episode at full scale in the dark does to it, this is the screening. If you haven't started the series yet, this is the wrong entry point. Watch the show first. Then come back and see it in this room.

No corporate booths dominating the floor. The panels, the screenings, the programming — all of it organized by volunteers who have been running this for decades, which gives it an atmosphere that is genuinely hard to replicate. It feels less like a trade show than the largest anime club meetup in California. It has run every Memorial Day weekend since 1994, drawing 25,000 to 30,000 people across four days. Programming runs 24 hours. The Saturday cosplay masquerade is a full theatrical production. The gaming hall is one of the best at any convention — tournaments, free-play consoles, retro arcades running through the night. In the dealer room and artist alley, indie creators outnumber corporate licensors. San Jose Convention Center, 150 W San Carlos St. Four-day badges sell out; single-day passes are sometimes available at the door. If you have done Anime Expo but never this, the culture is meaningfully different — and the difference is the point.

The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 24th. Castle Rat — the band operating in the tradition of theatrical doom, heavy psych, and the visual world that heavy music has always conjured when it's doing it right — bringing their show to the Anaheim mid-size room that was built for exactly this kind of performance. The Parish is the venue that puts the crowd and the stage in the right relationship for a heavy bill. The sound is designed for the frequencies. The standing floor creates the specific pressure of a crowd that arrived for the music and knows it. Castle Rat live is the experience that the recordings are blueprints for — the theatricality, the density of the sound in a room at volume, the set building toward something that pays off. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 24th. The Anaheim location makes this accessible from across Orange County and from LA. If you've been following Castle Rat's trajectory and waiting for the Southern California date on this run, this is the Parish show. Get your ticket before the floor goes.
