The countdown is officially on for this Saturday’s CineArts Festival Season Opener—and we’re pulling out all the stops for The Sound of Music 🎬✨

Our exclusive gift bags are being handcrafted as we speak—and yes, they’re as good as you’re hoping. The first 25 guests through the doors will receive an Opening Night Pass bag curated by NKD Bath & Body, filled with elevated, feel-good favorites you’ll actually use.

But here’s where it gets even more exciting…
Additionally, five lucky guests will be randomly selected to receive upgraded VIP experiences:
✨ Three Spotlight Pass gift bags
✨ One Director’s Circle gift bag
✨ One Premier Icon gift bag
All specially curated and enhanced by the hosts. In total, we’re giving away over $1,500 in gifts—all in one unforgettable night.

⏰ Important: You must be on the property by 7:15 PM to be eligible. After that, entry means missing out—so arrive early, grab your spot, and enjoy every moment.

And now… the real crowd-pleaser 🍕

Think melty, bubbling cheese, a perfectly crisp crust, and your favorite toppings coming together in just 6 minutes.

Spring has officially arrived at Conejo Gardens! 🌸 The torch lilies are beginning to bloom, the last of the morning dew has lifted from the garden paths, and the freshly cut grass fills the air with that unmistakable scent of a new season. The grounds are coming alive again as we prepare for another unforgettable year of movies under the stars.

Behind the scenes, the excitement is building. The big movie screen is being carefully tested, the sound system is warming up, and final touches are being made across the gardens as we get ready to welcome everyone back. It’s the quiet moment before the lights dim and the magic begins.

All of this leads to our CineArts Festival Season Opener, featuring the beloved classic The Sound of Music! 🎬✨ Get ready for an evening of music, laughter, and community as the hills—and the gardens—come alive with the sound of movies once again.
