Honda Center, one of two Anaheim locations selling fireworks to benefit nonprofits, will add fun to sales Friday, with a free movie night.
The baseball film classic, "The Sandlot" will be shown on the big screens outside the arena.
Bring your chairs and blankets for an evening of fun that starts at 6 p.m. Come early to enjoy food trucks, a Ducks bounce house, giveaways and more.
Attendees will get an exclusive discount on fireworks bought during the event and have a chance to win TNT Fireworks assortments.

Fireworks may also be bought at the Brookhurst Shopping Center (2297 W. Ball Road). Anaheim's two stands benefit more than 100 nonprofits that have signed up for the fundraiser.
Anaheim is Orange County's only city to allow all qualified Anaheim nonprofits the chance to raise money from fireworks sales.
Qualified groups can earn 30 percent of all pretax sales they drive to Anaheim's two fireworks stands. So remember your nonprofit when burying by showing a flier or checking a form at the register to credit your group.

Another great thing about living in Anaheim? The totally awesome things the Disneyland Resort does to give back to the community where it all started more than 60 years ago.
This summer, the city of Anaheim is teaming with the Disneyland Resort to bring Anaheim residents free family events at our parks.
Starting this month and running through August, Disney will host movie nights at Anaheim parks and schools, including screenings of childhood classics "The Little Mermaid" and "Monsters, Inc." as well as the widely popular "Lilo & Stitch."
Locations include the lawns at Twila Reid Park and Ponderosa Park, and the Pearson Park Amphitheater.
So mark your calendars for these free movie nights. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for outside movie showings.
All movies start at 7:30 p.m.
Also, be on the lookout for special pop-up surprises at Anaheim community events as well as some end-of-summer parties.
The events are part of the Disneyland Resort's Diamond Anniversary, which concludes this summer.

Anaheim Public Utilities is helping residents lower their utility bills this summer by offering up to $40 in credits on their bill, increased rebates and a number of ways to conserve energy.
Save 20, Get 20
Residents can receive a $20 credit per 60-day billing period by reducing 20 percent of their energy use from July 1 to Oct. 31 (compared to last summer's usage). Simple actions, such as increasing thermostats to 78 degrees or installing energy-efficient appliances, can help you save. To qualify, your account at the same address must have been in good standing for the prior 12 months.
What to Look For on Your Bill
View your current energy use on your bill and compare to last year's by visiting Anaheim.net/Utilities to manage your account. Look at the "Electric Usage Comparison" chart. It shows the amount of kilowatt hours used during the same time period as the previous year and is a helpful tool to keep you on track. Any credits earned will be automatically applied to your bill within 90 days after the qualified billing period.
Limited-Time Increased Rebates
By using fans to precool homes during morning hours, you can reduce the need for air conditioning. Check out the increased rebates now available on appliances such as: whole-house, attic and ceiling fans; central and room air conditioners; high-performance windows; and air conditioning tune-ups. Measures are required to meet high efficiency guidelines, such as EnergyStar ratings, and qualifications do apply.

Protect Yourself from Fraud
|
Anaheim Public Utilities customers have recently been experiencing a number of fraud calls and visits. Scammers pose as utility employees threatening to abruptly disconnect water and electric services if immediate payment is not made using a prepaid card.
Anaheim representatives will never make unsolicited calls to customers asking for payment information over the phone, nor will our staff visit your home to solicit payment. Here are some fraud prevention tips to keep you, family members and friends from becoming a victim. Please share this information: - Protect your personal information
- Shred bills before throwing them away
- Pay over the phone using only the authorized number on your bill
- Verify all notices before making payment
Your safety and security is our priority and we encourage customers to contact us immediately at (714) 765-3300 if you suspect fraudulent activity.
