70th Anniversary Family Movie Night

To celebrate Lakewood’s 70^th birthday, the city is organizing a free Family Movie Night that will feature a showing of the classic “Back to the Future” along with free popcorn from Manna Kettle Korn, giveaways, carnival games, surprises and plenty of photo opportunities with 70^th Anniversary backdrops and the city’s 70^th Anniversary mascot, Woody the Tree. 

The fun happens at Mayfair Park (on Lisa Fernandez Field) on Saturday, April 20 from 6 to 10 p.m., with the movie starting at sunset at 7:30 p.m. Come dressed as your favorite character and bring your own chairs and blankets, and pack a picnic dinner or enjoy one of the food trucks on site. 

On April 16, 1954, Lakewood--America’s largest planned community at the time--officially became a city, one month after residents voted by a 60-40% margin to incorporate and govern themselves.

Through the innovative “Lakewood Plan,” residents and their new local government used a combination of city employees and contract public and private sector agencies to ensure the most effective and successful delivery of services.

Now, 70 years later, Lakewood continues to be known as one of the most successful, family-friendly and affordable communities in Southern California.

If there is rain on April 20, a decision will be made by 2 p.m. whether the movie will be shown or rescheduled. Details will be updated and available on this event page.
