As the days get longer and the temperature begins to warm, it is the perfect time to spend evenings outdoors with friends and family. There is something very magical about cinema under the stars on a warm spring or summer night. The Bay Area has a lot to offer in the outdoor movie scene throughout the summer, with multiple locations throughout and lots of pre-show entertainment.
