Best Dinner and a Show

Cinema La Placita

Cinephile Erika O'Dowd hosts and curates this fabulous outdoor movie series with fun themes like "Filmed in Tucson" and "Audrey Hepburn Gets a Haircut and Everyone Suddenly Realizes She Is Pretty." Pack a picnic dinner or pick up something homemade from one of the cafés at La Placita. Bring extra to share, because you're bound to spot someone you know; Cinema La Placita is small-town Tucson at its best. Choose a spot on the lawn or one of the convivial picnic tables under the olive and mesquite trees, or go early to get dibs on the gazebo for extra elegance and panache. Enjoy the free popcorn, and be sure to leave a donation to keep the theater going strong.
