The Coronado Island Film Festival invites guests to step into the summer of 1963 on Friday, June 26, for its annual “Movie on the Beach” fundraiser — this year featuring the classic film, “Dirty Dancing.”

The film will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Hotel del Coronado. Beach chairs will be provided, along with bonfire pits and a nostalgic soundtrack by DJ’s Trisha Lynn and Marilyn Klisser of Club Coronado.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or jackets, and fire pit lounges are available for purchase.

“The funds raised sustain our five-day festival and the free educational programming that reaches students, emerging filmmakers, and film lovers throughout the year, said Merridee Book, CEO and artistic director of the film festival. “This is cinematic magic with real, lasting impact.”
