From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.

Recipient of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World in 2024,” the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (PJIFF) is gearing up for another award-winning year. In response to their “call for films” late last year, the PJIFF received 1,100 submissions from around the world. Of those, 300 films have been selected to be featured during the 9-day festival which spans 5 cities and 22 venues. The festival attracted some global attention and will welcome filmmakers from Egypt, Poland, China, Taiwan, Italy, Holland, Canada, Kansas, and Texas to Morgan Hill, to attend their film’s premiere. New this year, the festival will feature a VR Experience at the Cura Contemporary Gallery in Downtown Morgan Hill, where a filmmaker will perform a laser and hologram show. Festival Director Mattie Scariot is especially excited about this special feature: "Kalamazoo Gals" – A documentary on women who built Gibson guitars during WWII. Filmmakers from Canada and Connecticut will be bringing two of these rare guitars, where they will host an open mic night inviting local musicians to play them!
From short films to music videos to virtual reality, the 2025 PJIFF film lineup has something for every moviegoer to enjoy.
