Street Food Cinema: Shrek + Drone Show — Griffith Park at The Autry

Aug 22, 2026 The Autry Museum, 4700 Western Her…

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.

Outdoor Movie: The Birdcage 30th Anniversary

Jun 13, 2026 $15-25 4700 Western Heritage Way, The Aut…

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.

Street Food Cinema: Wet Hot American Summer — The Autry Museum, Griffith Park

Aug 8, 2026 The Autry Museum, 4700 Western Her…

Certain movies function less like films and more like a password. You quote one line at a party, somebody across the room answers with the next one, and the two of you have found each other. This deeply absurd summer camp comedy from 2001 has been doing that quietly for two decades. Watching it outdoors on a lawn in Griffith Park is the correct format, mostly because of the crowd. Everyone around you laughs at the right parts, including the parts that are not jokes so much as tone. And there is a layer of stupidity to sitting on a hill in a park watching a movie about summer camp that the film itself would wholeheartedly endorse. Doors early evening with a live band and a sprawl of food trucks running from Korean tacos to artisan ice cream, then the film once it gets properly dark. Dog-friendly, bar on site, parking free. Bring a blanket and someone who appreciates Paul Rudd's range.

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.

Street Food Cinema: Cars 20th Anniversary — The Autry Museum, Griffith Park

Aug 1, 2026 The Autry Museum, 4700 Western Her…

Twenty years since Lightning McQueen first rolled into Radiator Springs, and somehow the ache of that little Route 66 town still lands — the idea that the best things in life are the ones you find when you’re lost on the way to somewhere else. Street Food Cinema is screening Cars for its 20th anniversary on the lawn of the Autry Museum, and in partnership with D23, the evening turns into something richer than a regular outdoor movie night. Doors open at 6pm with a live band, a curated spread of LA’s best food trucks, and that particular Griffith Park golden hour that makes everything feel like it was designed by a production designer who actually cares. The movie rolls at 8:15pm on a massive outdoor screen. Bring a blanket, bring a date, bring the kid who memorized every car’s name and still does the voice. This is the kind of night LA does better than anywhere: outdoor cinema, good food, good light, good company. General admission $23. The Autry Museum, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Griffith Park. Dog-friendly. Bar on site. Free parking.

Outdoor Movie: Bridesmaids

Jun 27, 2026 $15-25 4700 Western Heritage Way, The Aut…

Street Food Cinema closes out its June run with Bridesmaids at The Autry Museum in Griffith Park on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:30 PM. The 2011 Paul Feig comedy written by and starring Kristen Wiig remains one of the most rewatchable ensemble comedies of its generation. Outdoors, with food and wine flowing and a crowd that has memorized every scene, it becomes a genuine event rather than a rewatch. The Autry Museum of the American West is located at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027, in Griffith Park. Bring a blanket or low-back chairs and stake out your spot after doors open. On-site food vendors, craft beverages, and a pre-show DJ are all part of the Street Food Cinema experience. Parking is available throughout Griffith Park. Tickets are sold through the Street Food Cinema website and sell out reliably, so advance purchase is strongly recommended.

D23 x SFC: Pirates of the Caribbean

The D23 Fan Club and Street Food Cinema have teamed up for a special outdoor screening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at The Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park on Saturday, May 23, 2026.

This D23-presented screening carries Disney fan community energy: expect cosplay, themed photo opportunities, and a crowd that treats the film with genuine affection. The Autry Museum grounds provide a picturesque lawn setting in the foothills of Griffith Park, framed by trees and open to the evening sky. Bring low-back chairs or a blanket. Food vendors and DJs are on-site before showtime. The Autry Museum is at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027, with parking available in Griffith Park. This event is open to all guests regardless of D23 membership. Check the Street Food Cinema website for tickets and any member benefits.

Los Angeles Pinball League — Monthly Tournament

Monthly · Next Oct 13 Various venues, Los Angeles, CA

Somewhere in this city tonight there is a back room where the pinball never stopped — machines everyone assumed died with the arcades, lined up, lit up, and played for blood by people who know each ruleset cold. You thought it was nostalgia. They kept it a sport. Once a month the league runs a real tournament: matchplay, a new opponent and a random machine every round, points stacking across the night. It is IFPA-sanctioned, but that is not why the regulars come. A good table is the most honest machine there is. It does not care who you are, only whether you can read the ball. Here is what outsiders never expect: this crowd wants you to get good. Show up knowing only how to keep a ball alive and someone ranked will lean over between rounds and show you where the safe nudge is, when to let it drain on purpose. Venues rotate. Check the league's Facebook group and the IFPA calendar for this month's location. All-ages at most stops, 21+ at the bars.

LoL Worlds 2026 — Play-In Stage (Los Angeles)

In 8 days · Oct 15 – Oct 18 Riot Games Arena, 12181 Bluff Cree…

Every region sends its dark horses, and most of them go home in the first week. That is what makes the opening stage the most nervous, least predictable stretch of the whole tournament. The Play-In Stage is where teams that did not walk in with a guaranteed bracket spot have to earn one, on foreign soil, against opponents they have only ever studied on video. Nothing is safe and nobody is comfortable. Upsets that reshape the entire championship happen here, in front of a few hundred people, before the broadcast audience has fully tuned in. Riot Games Arena is the tightest, loudest room in North American esports — small enough that crowd noise reaches the stage, close enough to watch a player's posture change when a fight goes wrong. From inside that building it is a different sport. Riot Games Arena, 12181 Bluff Creek Dr, Playa Vista. October 15-18. Tickets through lolesports.com. If you have only ever watched it on stream, this is the one to go to.

Anime Expo 2027 — Los Angeles Convention Center

Jul 1 – Jul 4, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

You will be tired in a way that feels earned. Four days, a hundred thousand people, and not one of them needs you to explain what you are talking about. The largest anime convention in North America takes the Los Angeles Convention Center over Fourth of July weekend and spills into the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton beside it. Industry panels, screening rooms, autograph sessions with voice actors and composers, concerts that sell out weeks ahead. Studios from Japan use this as their main North American announcement stage — if a sequel or adaptation is being revealed, it often happens in a room you could be standing in. The exhibit hall carries imported merchandise and collaboration exclusives that surface nowhere else on the continent. Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St. Thursday through Sunday. Badges run from top-tier early-access down to single-day passes. Book the connected hotel corridor months out. Everyone who tells you that learned it the hard way.

D&D Adventurers League — Game Empire SD

Every Thursday · Next Oct 8 Free / $5 suggested 5037 Shawline St, San Diego, CA 92…

You do not need a group, a character, or any idea what you are doing. That is the entire design. Drop in on a Thursday evening, pick up a pregenerated character sheet, and join a table — mid-campaign or at the start of something fresh. Dungeon Masters are provided. Dice are provided. Rules questions are not tolerated so much as encouraged. Tables sort by Tier, so a first-time player rolling their first d20 sits with other new characters instead of getting lost behind a party three levels deep. If you already have a D&D Beyond character in Adventurers League legal format, bring it — after tonight it is recognized at any AL table anywhere in the world, which is the quietly remarkable part of organized play. Game Empire SD, 5037 Shawline St, San Diego — a dedicated tabletop store with real event space and staff who know the rules. Parking on-site. Most sessions need no reservation; check the store calendar. The only bad session is the one you did not show up for.

Oceanside Sunset Market -- Summer 2026 Thursdays

Every Thursday · Next Oct 8 Free Coast Hwy & Pier View Way, Oceansi…

The Pacific is a block away. Every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 PM, the corner of Coast Highway and Pier View Way becomes the Oceanside Sunset Market — vendors, food, live music, and the light that only happens when you're that close to the water at that hour. The beach-town market that runs when the day is actually good. Local makers, artisans, food vendors, and the crowd that comes out because the evening earned it. The vendor mix is Oceanside-specific: local crafts, art, jewelry, produce, and the food vendors that the beach corridor supports. The live music stage runs throughout the evening. The Oceanside Pier is visible from the market — the setting does work the vendors don't have to. Free to attend. Parking available near the Pier. Every Thursday, May through September, 5-9 PM. Oceanside, California. The market runs through marine layer some evenings. The cooler Pacific air is part of the draw, not a reason to stay home.

Pacific Beach Night Market

Monthly · Next Nov 4 Free Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific …

A hundred and fifty steps from the ocean, a corner of Pacific Beach turns into a block party that nobody had to organize you into. Fire pits going. Nine to twelve food vendors rotating week to week, so the thing you loved last time might be gone and the thing replacing it might be better. Live music that is genuinely local — acoustic sets, small bands, the occasional DJ. Games. A crowd of PB locals and students and people who simply wandered up from the beach still holding a towel. Past vendors have run birria tacos, banh mi, craft lemonade, Hawaiian shave ice, artisan pastries, small-batch hot sauces. A few craft sellers usually set up alongside. This is a neighborhood gathering, not a ticketed event. Free. No RSVP. You walk up. Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific Beach. 5 to 9:30 PM. Bring a layer — it cools off fast after sunset, even in August.
