We’re excited to welcome you to Viet Film Fest and Downtown Santa Ana! With exciting events happening throughout the weekend, we encourage you to arrive early and take some time to enjoy all that DTSA has to offer.
For most screenings, we recommend arriving 30 minutes to 45 minutes before your screening to allow time for parking and getting settled.
Saturday — OC LGBTQ+ Pride Parade
On Saturday, we recommend arriving an hour before your screening due to the OC LGBTQ+ Pride Parade and increased activity in Downtown Santa Ana.
Important: 3rd Street and 4th Street will be blocked off for the parade. We do not recommend using either street to access Downtown Santa Ana on Saturday. Since there is another event happening downtown, most garages are charging $20 flat rate. You may be able to pay the standard rate by telling the attendant: “I am here for The Frida Cinema.” The attendant will then issue a standard ticket at the regular rate. The garage next to The Frida is the only one to honor this, 300 E 5th St, Santa Ana, CA 92701.
Come early, explore DTSA, grab a bite, and enjoy everything Downtown Santa Ana has to offer before your Viet Film Fest screening!
