Street Food Cinema blends film, food, and pop culture into fan-first experiences that build community and keep audiences coming back for more.
With a 50+ event season and a twelve-year run, Street Food Cinema has become one of LA’s most iconic outdoor event brands. Known for its creative programming and strong community appeal, the series draws loyal crowds across parks, museums, and heritage venues citywide.
With a packed calendar and a growing slate of immersive formats, Street Food Cinema trusts Tixr to keep ticketing seamless, maximize revenue, and put the fan experience first—from casual community screenings to concert-style live-to-film events.
Immersive Experiences That Build Loyalty
Street Food Cinema combines iconic film screenings with gourmet food trucks, live performances, and interactive activations that make every event feel like a mini festival. It’s more than a movie night—it’s a shared cultural moment built to delight all fans.

Annual traditions like Booze, Bites & Frights turn Halloween into a multi-night horror celebration, while the Yuletide Cinemaland series brings the holiday spirit to classic screenings in heritage spaces across Los Angeles. Milestone anniversaries for titles like Friends, Mulan, and Up bring superfans together to celebrate the stories they love most.
“We lean into immersive, themed experiences—whether it’s a live orchestra performing during a horror classic, or a fully decked-out venue with scare actors, photo ops, and themed cocktails,” the team shared. “Every detail is designed to make our fans feel like they’re stepping into the world of the film.” – AJ Yildirok, Executive Director at TIL Events & Street Food Cinema
Live-to-film formats like Evil Dead in Concert mark a growing part of Street Food Cinema’s programming, expanding SFC's reach and offering fans a new way to experience iconic films. To keep fans engaged across the season, Street Food Cinema offers season passes to maintain engagement throughout the calendar.
La La Land in Concert: Turning Screenings Into Signature Live Events
Now entering its third year, La La Land in Concert is Street Food Cinema’s largest and most complex production. Held at LA State Historic Park, the event features a 53-piece orchestra performing Justin Hurwitz’s Oscar-winning score live to picture with the downtown skyline as backdrop.
Fans can choose from multiple seating tiers—picnic-style general admission, theater-style reserved, pit access near the orchestra, and VIP box seats. Our reserved seating tools help the team manage complex inventory behind the scenes, while fans browse a detailed seat map that makes choosing a spot seamless.
“Tixr’s real-time reporting and backend dashboard have saved us countless hours—especially on high-volume projects like La La Land in Concert, where we processed 10,000 GA and seated tickets. The ability to track sales, manage holds, and monitor multiple events in one place has significantly streamlined our workflow.”
Fans can pre-purchase picnic dinners, drinks, and other add-ons—seamlessly integrated into the ticketing flow to increase cart value. The result: a better fan journey and higher per-order revenue.

“Tixr’s intuitive checkout process makes it easy for fans to grab their tickets without friction, and that directly impacts our conversion rates.”
Supporting Growth Behind the Scenes
As the scope and pace of programming increase, Street Food Cinema uses our tools to manage complexity without sacrificing quality. Real-time, comprehensive reporting gives the team visibility across their event portfolio, helping them track performance, spot trends, and make informed decisions throughout the season—all within Tixr.
Flexibility also extends to fan-facing tools. With our forms feature, the team can quickly set up custom questions in checkout when events call for it—like their PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie Guinness World Record screening, which required pre-registration for every dog in attendance.
“The Tixr team’s responsiveness, innovation, and flexibility make them a true partner in our success. They understand our brand and audience, and they’re always open to brainstorming ways to elevate the fan experience.”
Street Food Cinema continues to expand what an outdoor movie experience can be, layering fan-first design with operational excellence. From scalable ticketing tools to strategic support, we’re proud to help bring their vision to life.
