UKIAH, Calif. – On Friday, Aug. 5, the community is invited for a free outdoor movie at the Alex R. Thomas Plaza in downtown Ukiah.

The featured movie is “Alice in Wonderland. ”

Alice, an unpretentious and individual 19-year-old, is betrothed to a dunce of an English nobleman. At her engagement party, she escapes the crowd to consider whether to go through with the marriage and falls down a hole in the garden after spotting an unusual rabbit.

Arriving in a strange and surreal place called "Underland," she finds herself in a world that resembles the nightmares she had as a child, filled with talking animals, villainous queens and knights, and frumious bandersnatches.

Alice realizes that she is there for a reason – to conquer the horrific Jabberwocky and restore the rightful queen to her throne.

Audience members are invited to bring blankets and low-back beach chairs.

Please leave your pets at home, there are no dogs allowed. Food vendors will be on site to provide food and refreshments.

Movies begin at dusk.

Moonlight Movie Madness is presented by the city of Ukiah, dfm Home Audio Video, and Ukiah Main Street Program. We would like to give a special thanks to KWINE and Max Radio, SHAG Salon and Supply, Retech Systems LLC, Redwood Children’s Services Inc., Wells Fargo, Ukiah Saturday Afternoon Club and the Savings Bank of Mendocino County.
