Summer is in full swing in the village and the Carlsbad Village Association has put together three great events to help you and your family enjoy the very best of what Carlsbad has to offer.
The third Annual Flicks at the Fountain summer outdoor movie series is well underway. Every Thursday evening through Aug. 27, we transform the parking lot behind the prominent fountain on the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue into a free movie theater. We kicked off this summer's series with Hook, starring the late Robin Williams, to the delight of nearly 200 people.
Complete with a giant inflatable movie screen and an amazing sound system, the family-friendly movies come alive as the night sky darkens.
Simply bring a low back chair, a cozy blanket, and movie snacks, and we will do the rest. Local village merchants such as Paradise Pizza and Linda's Yogurt and Deli will be on site to take dinner orders and will deliver right to your spot!
August movies include: The Incredibles (Aug. 6); Wizard of Oz (Aug. 13); McFarland USA (Aug. 20); and Jumanji (Aug. 27). Seating starts at 6 p.m. and movies begin just after dusk, around 8:05 p.m.
The 17th annual Art in the Village, always held on the second Sunday in August, will transform State Street and Grand Avenue, in the heart of the village, into a one-day, open air art gallery.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, more than 100 local and regional artists will have their artwork on display, showcasing everything from oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, mixed media, new media, classical and contemporary sculptures, jewelry making and much more.
Starting at 9 a.m., attendees can browse exhibits and listen to live music while strolling the streets of their lovely village.
Friday Night Live continues throughout the month of August to make your evenings in the village much more enjoyable.
Every Friday night, from 7-9 p.m., local musicians perform on the corners of Carlsbad Village Drive and State Street (outside of the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar) and State Street and Grand Avenue (outside Viz Art Ink). Ranging from indie pop to classical to country western, this "busker" style of music is the perfect warm-up for dinner in the village or a great way to relax after a fabulous meal.
Come enjoy your village this summer like never before! For more information on any Carlsbad Village Association summer programs, visit our event page, which can be found at www.carlsbad-village.com.
