As the sun sets earlier and warm weather persists, welcome the new season with a free outdoor movie at the Santa Monica Pier. Front Porch Cinema returns with movies every Friday night through the 24th. Call in sick to work, do fun things, and at the end of the day, watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. 

Bring your own low chairs and beach blankets, or rent one of the old-timey lawn chairs available for the event. Food and drinks are also available for purchase. Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with DJ jams as you grab snacks and scout spots, and the movie starts at 7:30 p.m.
