Movies begin at sunset, but the fun starts at 7:30 with contests, including Oakland trivia. And prizes!
There's plenty of time to enjoy dinner at one of Jack London Square's fantastic restaurants before settling down to watch the evening's feature flick.
Bring blankets and stadium seats.
So excited they are starting off with one of my favorite movies I would be happy to see again. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more and hope to do it all again tomorrow night. Here's the lineup:
July 8: JULIE & JULIA
Show us your best Julia Child! The best impersonation of everyone's favorite queen of the kitchen will receive a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
July 22: STAR TREK: The Future Begins
Think you're a true Trekkie? Come test your Star Trek trivia knowledge and win great prizes from Jack London Square.
August 12: MONSTERS vs. ALIENS
Join us for face painting & fun! Kids will love parading around the Square dolled up as their favorite monster or alien, and all of the kids will receive a prize for marching in our parade.
August 26: QUANTUM OF SOLACE
Shaken, not stirred! Join your fellow secret agents at one of the chic bars in Jack London Square for a martini or two before the movie. And be sure to brush up on your James Bond trivia—a DVD prize pack from Jack London Square will be awarded to the sharpest double agent!
