Lights, Camera, Community: Flicks at the Fountain Returns This July

Since its inception in 2013, Flicks at the Fountain has been a beacon of summer fun in downtown Carlsbad. With 62 movies screened to date (with five more on tap for this summer), including timeless classics and modern favorites, this outdoor cinema extravaganza has become a cherished tradition for locals and visitors alike.

But Flicks at the Fountain is more than just a movie night; it’s a celebration of community and connection. Over the years, the event has witnessed countless heartwarming moments, from romantic proposals to nostalgic reunions. One particularly touching occasion saw us assisting a groom-to-be in surprising his girlfriend with a proposal, echoing the magic of their first date at Flicks.

As we gear up for another summer of cinematic bliss, we’re thrilled to announce some exciting additions to the lineup. Before each screening, attendees can look forward to live performances by talented local musicians and dancers, adding an extra layer of entertainment to the experience. And for those who fancy themselves movie buffs, we’re introducing Trivia With Tim—a chance to test your knowledge and win some fantastic prizes.

None of this would be possible without generous local support, including that from our newest title sponsor, the Carlsbad Police Officers’ Foundation. Their dedication to fostering positive community engagement and supporting initiatives like Shop with a Cop and Toys For Tots ensures that Flicks at the Fountain continues to thrive as a pillar of the Carlsbad community. 

So, as the sun sets and the stars come out, join us for another summer of magic at Flicks at the Fountain for five consecutive Thursday nights starting July 11th through August 8th. Grab your blankets, pack some snacks, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime.

See you at the movies!
