🎬 Summer Movie Nights in the Park? We Want Your Feedback!

We’re excited to share a fun idea that could bring our community together under the stars: a Summer Outdoor Movie Night Series!

Pine & Crane would offer a family-friendly evening with a cultural film for free, and snacks, dinner, and alcoholic drinks, akin to the Alamo Drafthouse experience for purchase.

To kick things off, Emerald, a manager at Pine & Crane, suggested screening the popular 2024 film Di Di on Friday, August 28 at Wishbone Park. Guests would be treated to Pine & Crane’s signature popcorn chicken, and the restaurant is also considering offering dinner boxes for a cozy dine-in-the-park experience.

In collaboration with SPNA, there’s also interest in expanding the series into September and October, while the evenings are still warm. The idea is to partner with other ethnic restaurants to create themed nights that pair international films with matching cuisine.

🎥 Estimated cost per movie night (including screen, projector, and film rights): $3,000 🍱 Pine & Crane will be reaching out to The Social District to explore funding options.

We’d love your input!
