Most of these poles are located in the center and rear of the field for that screen. No sitting or lying on roofs of vehicles. Our flea market runs Sunday from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm.

Lets talk headlights!
Why are they such a big deal at the drive-in?

*Headlights wash out the screen and make your movie less visible. Being outdoors gives us the drive-in charm we all love- peepers and frogs serenading us in the background, warm summer breezes, and the ability to sit in lawn chairs, your car or the blow up mattress you packed. Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of a dark room to project in, so we need to be conscious of how many lights we have on the property.

*Headlights are DISTRACTING! There's nothing worse than getting to the good part of the movie, and having someone show up late with their lights on pull your attention away from the film, or having the person in front of you tap dancing on their brake pedal. (This is also to say: PLEASE show up 30 minutes or more before showtime to get set up and allow others to enjoy themselves as well).

*Having your headlights on *will* drain your battery. While we do have a jump box, and are happy to offer a jump start, having a dead car at the end of the night is a drag to say the least. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with their car's make and model, and how to put it in accessory mode. When in accessory mode, the radio is on, car is off, and no interior or exterior lights are on. YouTube is a great resource for gathering the tips for each vehicle's make and model!

We anticipate being quite busy this week, so we highly recommend arriving to the drive-in early whether you have online tickets or not; our gates open at 7:15!
Other pro tips to consider:
Please make sure you know how to turn off all interior and exterior lights on your car while having the engine off and radio on (YouTube has been amazing in figuring out the tricks for each model).
Online tickets will reserve your spot if we happen to sell out at the gate, so we HIGHLY recommend purchasing tickets in advance.
We will be parking 2 cars between sets of poles, so please park as close as possible to the pole when you arrive.
If you plan to stop by the snack bar, please come in as soon as you get to the theatre.
If you plan to rent a handheld radio from the snack bar, we recommend doing so as soon as you arrive! We have a limited radio supply and they are first come, first served.
Thank you everyone, see you later!
