Leo Carrillo Ranch Film Festival
In previous years, the “Dinner & A Movie at Leo Carrillo Ranch” was the big annual fundraiser supporting arts and education. However, this event was split this year, turning the movie night into the Leo Carrillo Ranch Film Festival!
Guests were encouraged to bring: blankets, low-back chairs, warm clothes, and a flashlight. They enjoyed an evening of nostalgic entertainment under the stars hosted by the Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Department. Over the last three Friday nights, they showed rare historical films from the Golden Age of Hollywood featuring Leo Carrillo and movies that Leo would love.

Personal Touch Dining offered snacks at a concession stand, a fun change of pace from the regular wedding menu they serve! There were desserts, popcorn, hot dogs, and other fun snacks you’d see at a movie theatre for sale.
While the City of Carlsbad also hosts larger public Family Movie Nights, these Film Festival events require advance online reservations. The tickets sold out fast! If you’re a local in the area, keep a sharp eye on the City Of Carlsbad’s event calendar for more fun events like this in the future!
