Solana Beach Invites You to a Night of FREE Surf Films, Family Fun and Environmental Education!
City’s best gather for one night of surf culture, prizes, and more…
Families, surf enthusiasts and ocean lovers are getting a one-night only movie magic treat at Solana Beach’s First Annual Beach Blanket Movie Night!
Presented by the Solana Beach Parks and Recreation Commission, this free event will focus on our local surf culture and the importance--and fragility--of the environment that makes it all possible. This surf extravaganza will include raffle prizes (suggested donation $1.00 per ticket) from surfboards to sunglasses, free giveaways plus plenty of cool refreshments to wash away the salty air. But that’s not all…
The night’s star attractions will be the screening of two unique surf films from local producer, Ira Opper. First, Kokua, an Emmy-winning look at Jack Johnson’s Kokua Festival, an annual celebration of music and mother nature on the north shore of Oahu.
The evening culminates with the premier screening of Opper’s most recent full-length surf film, FIN. This beautifully-shot documentary offers an up- close-and-personal look at the current state of the art of surfing during a time when surfers are redefining the sport. Style matters most to FIN’s subjects, and the film celebrates this time in surf culture when what you ride means nothing, but the way you ride it means everything.
All proceeds will benefit future Solana Beach Parks & Recreation Commission projects and/or community-building events, so come prepared to be generous…and entertained by fantastic surf footage!
Solana Beach’s First Annual Beach Blanket Movie Night is being held at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach, August 27th from 6:30-10:00pm.
