“PETE’S DRAGON” opens in cinemas this weekend.

Beer, bratwurst and Broadway will highlight this week’s offerings of fun things to do and see this weekend in the Garden Grove-Huntington Beach-Westminster area. Summer is still with us, but autumnal harbingers are arriving, and we don’t just mean the arrival of “Back to School” sales at Target. Here’s our look at amusements Friday through Sunday.
