Before heading out to any show, be sure to check the weather and see if the screening will continue in the event of rain or other disruptive weather.
For the comfiest experience bring picnic blankets, a sweater and (non-crackling) snacks. A camping chair could offer you the most comfort, but be mindful you’re not blocking anyone’s view of the screen with your set-up. Remember that some venues may also discourage — or outright prohibit — pets or alcohol.
If you are seeking captions for an outdoor movie, you may need to contact the city’s parks and recreation department at least two days in advance. For example, for the Berkeley showings, contact the city at least two days before the screening at [email protected] or (510) 926-1458, and for Santa Cruz shows, call (831) 423-5590. According to the Santa Cruz Movies on the Beach website, a “limited number of assistive listening devices (ALDs) are available for check-out at the Mini Golf Kiosk inside Neptune’s Kingdom.”
