OUTDOOR CINEMA & MUSIC AT BIRCH PARK: OCTOBER 2023 ARTS, CULTURE & COMMUNITY: UNDER THE STARS The Frida Cinema is a 501(c)(3) mission -driven nonprofit art house theater that has complemented its in-house programming with outdoor film and special event presentations since 2014, including drive-in presentations and garden -style screenings at parks, historic cemeteries, and parking lot rooftops such as the 5th & Spurgeon parking lot in Downtown Santa Ana. Upon the arrival of COVID-19, these outdoor events served to fill an immediate need, welcoming folks of all ages to rejoin their community and go back to the movies in a safe setting.
