LA loves to screen its movies outdoors—from rooftops (Devil's Night Drive In) to cemeteries (Cinespia). Beginning tonight, there's a new player in the game: Eat|See|Hear, which combines movies, food trucks and live music into an evening of entertainment.
Presented by Fandango, the series takes over local parks and other community venues this summer through Sept. 15, with movies shown on a three-story high, 52-foot wide inflatable movie screen in digital HD and quality audio.
Before each screening, local up-and-coming bands perform live and popular food trucks serve up their fare. Kicking the series off tonight at Santa Monica High School are The Diamond Light (6:30 pm) followed by headliners, Islands (7:15 pm). Anchorman screens at 8:30 pm. Food trucks coming tonight are: Fatmobile, The Lime Truck, Nom Nom, The Shrimp Pimp, Flat Iron, The Greasy Weiner, Me So Hungry, White Rabbit, Buttermilk and Coolhaus.
Advanced tickets are $10. There will also be a limited amount of “Fashionably Late” premium seats available online for $20. A limited amount of passes will also be available for $10 at the door (cash only, no credit cards). Doors open at 5:30 pm.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
