Wedgwood Outdoor Cinema
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wedgwood Outdoor Cinema? An annual WCC event to bring the community together for some fun and to give back to our community. This free event is made possible by sponsorship from local businesses, organizations and volunteers. See the report and photos from the 2009 cinema!
Is there an admission fee? We are asking for a $5 donation per family at the movie to help cover costs. Please also bring a donation of non-perishable food for our local food banks.
When is the Outdoor Cinema? This is a one-time summer event and this year's movie is on July 31.
When does the movie start? The event officially begins at 7:00 p.m.; movie at dusk. Enjoy food and beverages as well as pre-movie activities. We start the film as soon as it's dark enough to see and enjoy the movie. Sunset is at 8:46 p.m. so anticipate a start time about 9:15 p.m.
Where is the event held? The south end of the playground at Thornton Creek School located at 7711 43rd Avenue NE.
How is the movie selected? The movie is selected based on feedback from past attendees, the cost and availability of the movie, and appropriateness for the families attending.
Will food & beverages be available? Yes, local merchants treat us to hot dogs, ice cream and beverages. Fresh popped popcorn is available to purchase with net proceeds benefiting our community.
What are the seating arrangements? Movie-watchers should bring low back chairs. Seating is first come, first served on the playgrounds. Bring a blanket and a flashlight!
How can I get involved? Contact Brian Turnbull (brianturnbull72@msn.com) about becoming a sponsor. Volunteers are welcome!
How do I become a sponsor? Submit a completed sponsorship form by the deadline (June 14) and enclose payment to the WCC at P.O. Box 15770 Seattle, WA 98115. By contributing to the Wedgwood Community Council, you are helping us to build our community into a greater place to live, play and work. Plus, participating in the biggest event of Wedgwood is really fun and you reap the benefits of promoting your organization or business. (Sponsorship is not tax-deductible.)
Where can I park my vehicle? Street parking is recommended around the perimeter of the school. Parking on the Playfield is reserved for sponsor/participants who plan to stay through the entire event when movie-goers are clear from the playfield.
Can I bring my dog? Yes, so long as it is kid-friendly and isn't wary of crowds. The dog should be leashed and cleaned up after.
