Carlsbad Village Flicks at the Fountain 2026
Summer has arrived, and that means several popular events in Carlsbad are coming soon.
One long-time annual favorite is the Flicks at the Fountain series. 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 9th and ends August 6th.
Movies are rated G, PG, and PG-13 and were decided by popular vote from residents. Here’s the 2026 list of movies:
July 9 – Zootopia 2 (2025) (PG)
July 16 – Beethoven (1992) (PG)
July 23 – Aladdin (1992) (G)
July 30 – How to Train Your Dragon (2025) (PG)
August 6 – Superman (2025) (PG-13)
Flicks at the Fountain are held on a big screen in the parking lot by the Fountain at the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue. Seating begins at 6 pm and movies start at dusk, about 8 pm, and end around 10 pm.
Be sure 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 can also have pizza delivered right to the parking lot!
