The family-oriented big screen will once again illuminate the IKEA
Courtyard as the third annual Outdoor Picture Show summer film series
starts rolling tonight with a showing of "Spy Kids."
The eight-week event will screen films, including "School of Rock"
and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," at 8:30 p.m.
Wednesdays outside the home-furnishing store, 600 N. San Fernando
Blvd. Admission is free.
Also returning is pre-show entertainment presented by the KIIS-FM
(102.7) Street Team. In addition, the event will include the city's
Kids at Play van, face painting by the Make-Up Designory and food
booths from local vendors.
"This is a great community event that allows people to spend more
time with their families," said Brian Gartland, general manager of
the Media City Center.
A new addition to the series this year are wristbands, which are
required for seating inside the courtyard. They can be picked up
before the shows at the Media City Center's Customer Desk, 201 E.
Magnolia Blvd.
Guests without wristbands can still make their own seating with
lawn chairs and blankets outside the courtyard.
