White Rock Museum & Archives - A community association dedicated to preserving and promoting local history and culture. Our Museum is located in the historic White Rock Train Station building on the beach. Residents and visitors can learn about our history, and at the same time enjoy a walk along the promenade, pier, or visit one of the many shops and restaurants along Marine Drive. The Museum and Archives is run by a sterling group of volunteers and staff, all of whom are overseen by a hard working board of directors. Our mission is to provide the public with a view into the history of White Rock. To learn more, visit www.whiterock.museum.bc.ca.

We recommend low back chairs or lawnchairs. The best seating areas go fast, but you may be directed toward the mid part of the venue if you have high-backed chairs. Our front half of the venue is reserved for low back chairs and blankets.
What to Bring
Don't forget warm clothing, blankets, a flashlight and sleeping bags to fend off the chillier night air in the later part of the show. Shoes are a must at all presentations. Please bring along some extra cash for a donation to the evening's charity and support a good cause.
Food
Bringing your own food is allowed - in fact, we encourage it! There are many restaurants, cafes, bistros and grocery stores within blocks or so of the event venue that offer take-out selections you can bring to the show - or make a night of it and come early to enjoy a great sit-down meal before the movie. Please support our White Rock merchants and restaurants, as they are the ones that bring this movie series to you FREE of charge.
