2024 Carlsbad Village Flicks at the Fountain

 

Summer is only a few weeks away. That means several popular events in Carlsbad are coming soon.

 

One long-time favorite (since 2013) is the annual Flicks at the Fountain. This popular outdoor movie series is hosted by the Carlsbad Village Association. 

 

The Flicks at the Fountain take place on 5 consecutive Thursday nights. The series starts July 11th and ends August 8th.

Movies (rated G and PG) were decided by popular vote from residents. Here’s the 2024 list of movies – dates for each movie will be announced soon:

 

Barbie (PG-13)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (G)

Trolls (PG)

The Little Mermaid )G)

 

Carlsbad residents can still vote for the 5th movie here (either one of the 5 choices or email a write-in).

Flicks at the Fountain are held on a big screen in the parking lot by the Fountain. The parking lot is at the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue. Seating begins at 6 pm and movies start at dusk, about 8 pm or so and end around 10 pm.

 

You will want to bring blankets for chilly Summer evenings by the beach, along with comfortable low-back chairs.

 

Plan to bring some food/snacks and drinks, too. Or you can make life easier and buy take-out food at one of the nearby restaurants in the Village. You could also have pizza delivered to the parking lot!

 

MORE SUMMER FUN IN AND AROUND CARLSBAD

 

Don’t forget the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar. Opening day is June 12th and the Fair runs through July 7th!

 

The Art in the Village Fair is Sunday June 23rd from 9 to 5 in Carlsbad Village.

 

The free TGIF Concerts in the Parks series starts June 21st and takes place over 9 consecutive Fridays through August 16th at 3 of Carlsbad's community parks.

Hi Jeff- I love the outdoor flicks!!! I think it takes me back to my childhood when we'd go to the Drive-in theatres.

Ah, yes, those were good old days Kathy Streib  Outdoor movies are very popular around here in the summer, in Carlsbad and in other communities around San Diego.

Good morning Jeff. Here in Chicago outdoor movies on the lawn are very popular. As we exit for the suburbs I have been told that my new town also dies the same. A popular summer event. Enjoy your day.

Hmm, I see a couple of movies that I would be down to see at the fountain, but a couple that I would pass on as well, haha.

Hi Brian England 

That's probably true for a number of people. I've seen Willy Wonka a number of times over the years with the kids and grandkids but have no desire to see the other movies.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker 

It's a pretty diverse line-up that should appeal to a wide range of adults and kids.
