The event is part of the school’s 45th Anniversary celebration.

Originally released in 1969 — the same year that College of the Canyons was established — “The Love Bug” tells the tale of a racecar driver who rises to the top of his sport thanks in part to the antics of a unique Volkswagen named ‘Herbie’ with a mind of its own.

This COC Family Movie Night event is free to all community members, with students, employees, alumni and other friends of the college encouraged to attend.

The picnic portion of the evening will begin at 6 p.m., with attendees invited to pack a picnic dinner and bring blankets and chairs for an evening of family fun under the stars.

Accompanying children’s activities will also be available at this time.

The movie screening will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m.

Both portions of the event will take place in the COC Honor Grove, located on the college’s Valencia campus.

Complimentary popcorn, candy and root beer floats will be available to all attendees.
