1980s Classic “Pretty In Pink” Screening Outdoors In Stanley Park Tonight

photo-(7)

It’s time to grab yourself a picnic basket and claim a spot on the grass with your best blanket because tonight is outdoor movie night in Stanley Park’s Ceperley Meadow (at 2nd Beach). They’re showing the 1980’s teen-angst classic, Pretty In Pink, at dusk for the win. Anticipate a big crowd, folks.

As you can see from the shot at the top (taken last Tuesday by our friends at Fresh Air Cinema) a ton of people show up to these gigs and there’s definitely some wandering overflow from the Second Beach drum circle just down the way. So be extra smart about it and take public transit, some extra patience, and suitable provisions so you can make it through at ease. An outdoor movie of this calibre in this beautiful weather? Yes, please! Bonus: Ducky’s unforgettable Otis Redding impression.
