The contest is open to all moviegoers and will start at approximately 7:30 p.m.

The alfresco film series is held on the Center's community plaza with the films projected on the side of Segerstrom Hall. Guests are encouraged to bring beach chairs or other easily portable seating items. Set-up begins at 5:30 p.m. with the movie starting at dusk (approximately 8 p.m.).
