Seaside Movie Nights

September 19 @ 7:45 pm - 10:00 pm

Lights. Camera. Coastline! Evenings on the California coast at Ventura Harbor Village just got a lot more fun, as the waterfront destination unveils its highly anticipated 2026 Seaside Movie Nights – a cinematic experience that fuses beloved throwback films with sun-kissed coastal charm. This year’s theme is “Nostalgia on the Big Screen, “a tribute to the epic films of the ‘1980s, and ‘2000s that continue to capture hearts of film lovers.

This free outdoor movie series invites guests to gather outdoors on the scenic Ventura Harbor Village Main Lawn, steps from the scenic marina, on Aug. 22 and Sept. 19. With cult classics, such as the 40th Anniversary of “Ferris Buller’s Day Off” and the 25th Anniversary of “Shrek,” complimented by preshow fun, and plenty of seaside flavor, it’s a can’t-miss community tradition for locals and travelers alike!

Moviegoers are encouraged to arrive early to soak in the coastal ambiance with live music on the Promenade Stage from 1- 4 p.m., waterfront shopping, wine tasting and a seaside stroll. Prior to each movies, enjoy preshow games and giveaways with B95.1 FM/ KHAY 101.7 FM / KRUZ 103.3 FM street team, and enjoy waterfront dining at Brophy Bros. Restaurant & Clam Bar, Margarita Villa Mexican Restaurant, Boatyard Pub Seafood and The Greek Mediterranean Steak & Seafood. Prefer a movie picnic, pick up food, sweets and coffee from Le Petit Café & Bakery, Boba by the Sea, The Parlor, Baja Bay Surf & Taco, On The Alley, Andria’s Seafood Restaurant & Market and Freedom Coffee at Island Packers. Bring low-back chairs and cozy blankets—then settle in with fresh popped kettle corn, or tasty takeout from Village restaurants.

Need a cozy hoodie? Harbor Village shops have you covered! Prime viewing spots go fast—arrive at least an hour before sundown for the full experience.

Seaside Movie Nights will be hosted on the Ventura Harbor Village Main Lawn by Ventura Port District and sponsors at 1583 Spinnaker Drive. Admission to the movies is FREE. Find more details: www.VenturaHarborVillage.com
