His long-time trio, joining him for the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd Concert Series, includes bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, noteworthy musicians in their own right.

Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between.

Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring?

Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations.
