MIDWAY CONCESSION STAND IS OPEN! You may purchase your favorite dinner, snacks, and drinks at the Midway! OUTSIDE FOOD AND DRINKS Can I bring my own food, drinks, and liquids? Yes, bringing in your own food is allowed as long as you purchase a $10.00 food permit. Here’s how it works: Outside food and beverages are prohibited unless you purchase a Food Permit online or at the Box Office, BEFORE YOU ENTER THE THEATRE and visibly display this on your dashboard during your visit. Please realize that our Drive-In survives only because you buy from our concession stand and we truly appreciate you purchasing items from concession during your visit to the Midway Drive-In. THIS POLICY WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. You may not share food or drink with persons who came in other vehicles. The other vehicle will require a food permit. A Food Permit is only required if you are bringing in Outside Food or Drinks into the Midway. Each Food Permit is valid for one visit to the Midway only. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!
