Film On The Rocks Drive-In: La Bamba

LA BAMBA — Los Angeles teenager Ritchie Valens (Lou Diamond Phillips) becomes an overnight rock 'n' roll success in 1958, thanks to a love ballad called "Donna" that he wrote for his girlfriend (Danielle von Zerneck) whose parents didn't want her to date a Latino boy. But as his star rises, Valens has conflicts with his jealous brother, Bob (Esai Morales), and becomes haunted by a recurring nightmare of a plane crash just as he begins his first national tour alongside Buddy Holly (Marshall Crenshaw).

One ticket will allow access for one standard vehicle entry, regardless of number of passengers. All Film on the Rocks attendees should utilize Entrance 2 to enter the park. You will continue to the Lower South Lot 2 for ticket scanning from your vehicle.
