My Valley Pass - The San Fernando Valley's #1 Visitors Guide!

This fall, it's "Pure Imagination" at the Anheuser-Busch/Budweiser plant in Van Nuys. On October 1st, the day that Charlie Bucket visits Willy Wonka's scrumdiddlyumptious candy factory, we're partnering with our friends at the historic Valley brewery for a very special screening of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. My Valley Pass is thrilled to screen the beloved fan favorite as part of our ongoing film series, Movies On Location. Throughout this exciting series, we'll be screening movies at actual filming locations, or at settings that go hand-in-hand with these specially curated films. This series will include comfortable seating with state-of-the-art projection and sound in an upscale setting. This is a screening you won't want to miss, as we've been granted special permission to invite the lucky ticket holders onto the Budweiser plant grounds.
