Beach It for Valentine’s Day at the Balboa

Looking for something fun and light for Valentine’s Day? Head out to the Balboa Theater for a screening of Beach Blanket Bingo, hosted by cult movie group Thrillville.

Released originally in 1965, Beach Blanket Bingo, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, is considered the best of the 60’s beach flicks. This one has it all: surf music, teenage romance, beautiful scenery, bikers, bikinis, go-go dancing, and even a mermaid!

Along with the fun film you’ll get to see vintage drive-in movie trailers (making out during these is optional), prizes and even a live performance from San Francisco’s leading lady of burlesque, Kitten on the Keys. From her website photo, she looks like a walking candy heart…

Tickets are just $10 and the beach party starts at 7:30pm. Cowabunga!
