From our neighbors, the San Francisco Giants….
The San Francisco Giants are bringing the first ever non-game day public movie night to Oracle Park this summer! Please join us on Saturday, July 13th as we show Bohemian Rhapsody (Sing-Along) on Oracle Park’s brand new, 4K scoreboard (the largest video board in California – 45% larger than San Francisco’s biggest movie theater). On the 34th anniversary of Queen’s historic Live Aid performance, guests will get exclusive access to sit on the Field, enjoy a pre-show performance by The Killer Queens (the world’s only, and San Francisco’s own, all-female tribute to Queen), and sing along to Queen’s hits while watching a special cut of the film Bohemian Rhapsody (2018, PG-13). Prizes will be handed out to select individuals wearing their best Freddie Mercury costumes. A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to our partners at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. We look forward to seeing you at the ballpark!
