3. Free outdoor movies at Stanley Park

A free movie series under the canopy of the stars. For the second year running, the West End BIA will be hosting the outdoor “Dinner & a Movie” series at Ceperley Meadow (near Second Beach in Stanley Park) throughout July 2010. The free movies will start at dusk, but it is recommended to be there as early as possible to ensure a good spot in front of the giant inflatable screen. This community event gives people of all ages the opportunity to enjoy their movie favourites in a natural setting under the twinkling canopy of the stars.
