You Can Dance, You Can Jive… at CIFF’s Mamma Mia Beach Bash!

Friday, July 11 | Hotel del Coronado | Sunset Screening

Get ready for a night of sparkle, song, and seaside fun as the Coronado Island Film Festival transforms the beach into a Greek island escape.

CIFF has partnered up with Presenting Sponsor, Auen Foundation, to bring the summer magic to life with the return of our annual “Movie on the Beach” fundraiser. This year’s Beach Bash features a sunset screening of the beloved musical Mamma Mia! under the stars.

Bring the glam! Break out your boas, bell-bottoms, and island-chic looks—if your outfit brings the ABBA drama, you might just strut away with a prize.

Highlights of the evening include: a pre-show dance party with Sue Allen Villalva and her Dancing Queens, themed cocktails at the cash bar, photo ops, an opportunity drawing, and golden hour views and coastal breezes.

All proceeds benefit CIFF’s nonprofit mission to champion cinematic storytelling, support filmmakers and education, and deliver year-round programming—including our milestone 10th Anniversary Festival this November (November 5–9, 2025).
