MOVIE NIGHT @ ECHO PARK: CLIFFHANGER

We’re having a movie night at Echo Park! What movie, you ask? None other than the legendary climbing film: Cliffhanger! Bring your own camp chair and/or blanket and pillows, along with your tolerance for 90s films that haven’t aged very well, as we collectively enjoy a night of free popcorn and laughter while viewing this cult classic.

$20 day passes are available for non-members!
