The Summer of Love may have taken place in Golden Gate Park and the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco in 1967 but it didn't hit the airwaves until 1971. Still, this music makes me nostalgic.

Admission is $5. Patrons who dine at Chuck's Fish the evening of the screening will receive free tickets. Call 205-758-5195.
