Young and old Audiences came in force!
And concessions were a hit!
What a night. What a turnout. What a way to begin!
The inaugural Movies Under the Stars at Carter Park was truly magical. ✨
There was something special about seeing hundreds of people gathered under the stars, blankets spread out, friends and families together, and BACK TO THE FUTURE lighting up the big screen at Half Moon Bay’s beautiful new amphitheater.
We couldn’t have done it without an incredible community of people who said YES to this idea.
❤️ THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers:
Valerie Dubois Dubois, Tim Dubois, Terri Dufore, Beth Lemke Mary-Anne Giglio , James Lee, Bridget Oats, Mandy Hall for your dedicated hard work!
A huge thank you to the City of Half Moon Bay for helping make this new community gathering place possible, and to Blake Merkes for your support and partnership in bringing this vision to life.
