The Best Outdoor Movies in San Diego This Summer
There are still plenty of those luxuriously long summer nights left. What better way to enjoy them than taking in an outdoor movie (many for free) in one of gorgeous parks or rooftops? This town loves to be outdoors, so there’s quite an extensive calendar of outdoor movies. We’ve collected a sampling of our favorite al fresco venues and our most beloved upcoming flicks (Anchorman! Top Gun!).
