Cinespia at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
4.5 (327)cinema
Watch classic and cult films on the lawn of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where starlit screenings meet elaborate picnics.
Description



The setting is as much a draw as the film; you watch screenings on the Fairbanks Lawn, surrounded by the fountains, pools, and historic trees of a active cemetery. The experience is anchored in an elaborate, bring-your-own-picnic culture, where visitors transform the grass into personal dining spaces complete with charcuterie, champagne, and floor seating. While the films span the classic and cult spectrum, the evening is framed by pre- and post-movie DJ dance sets and themed photobooths, leaning into a social, open-air festival energy. It is a surreal, often surreal, way to spend a summer night under the stars.
