Bring your own popcorn but leave your wallet at home as you enjoy free weekly Movies in the Park with family and friends. The city of Pleasanton will air the movies at dusk on six consecutive Thursday evenings at Amador Valley Community Park, 4301 Black Ave., on a giant screen that measures 26 feet diagonally. The 23-acre park is centrally located and features picnic/barbeque facilities, two play structures, plenty of open space and ample parking.

Seating will be cordoned off in sections with blanket seating in the front, low-back beach chairs in the center, and camp chairs and other higher positioned seating in the rear, to accommodate for the best viewing. The city asks patrons to refrain from placing blankets or chairs on the lawn area prior to 10 a.m.
