The festival is now in its 22nd season, and it's as magical as when it first began. Movies start around 8:00pm, but get there at least half an hour early (an hour or even an hour and a half would be better) to get a good seat and enjoy your picnic as you wait. Candy and popcorn are available at all screenings. All movies are free, but the festival is a fundraiser by the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation to save the area's classic movie theaters, so donations are appreciated. Make sure to bring enough blankets and hot drinks to stay warm, though, because San Francisco evenings can be chilly even in summer. Most chairs, however, are discouraged so that everyone can see the screen.
