- Dim your headlights before pulling into the theater & turn your lights ( head, tail & interior ) off before the movie starts
- Keep your trash in your car—don’t litter
- Larger vehicles: please keep to the back, so that the smaller vehicles can see!
- No sitting on the roof of your car. Awesome alternatives are sitting inside your car, on the hood of your car, and/or beside your car. Just don’t sit on the roof as this can block others from seeing the movie they came to see.
- Don’t talk on the phone after the movie starts. 10/10 theaters agree that talking on your phone during a movie is a terrible idea
- Please follow all COVID-19 guidelines while attending the drive-in. This includes, but is not limited to, keeping safe social distancing practices ( at least 6′ away from other groups of people ) and the mandatory wearing of face masks when outside of your car. Help us keep you safe.
