------EVENT INFO------
Please take a moment to read our rules and guidelines:
Introduction: We're a mobile DRIVE-IN, keeping the authentic experience alive as best we can! We project a big 30 foot wide image on the side of the Old Hamilton Theater building (closed for many years now) and transmit the audio over the FM band --(88.3FM)-- just like modern drive-ins. We operate totally via donations and even have a small concession snack bar at each performance, in addition to raffle prizes and special presentations during the intro and intermission segments!! COME JOIN US and KEEP THE DRIVE-IN ALIVE!
Drive-In Tips: Arrive Early if you plan to park and watch from your car! There's lots of space for chairs and blankets in front if the parking lot fills up with cars. Pre-show runs 15-20 minutes (late cars will not be admitted after the film starts). There will be a 15-20 minute intermission with featurette and raffle. NOTE: THERE ARE NO REGULAR RESTROOMS AT THIS LOCATION - there's Beso Cafe across the street until 9pm, a park around the corner with open facilities through twilight and sometimes the church across the street has an event and we can use theirs (located in the courtyard) but otherwise we have to improvise.
Drive-In Etiquette: CAR HEADLIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS OFF during the show. LARGER VEHICLES PARK IN THE BACK ROW (Minivans, SUVs, Crossovers, Pickups and Cars with Luggage/Racks). We can't always be 100% on top of this so if you have a smaller car do try to come early to get a FRONT row spot! During the movie, please keep noise to a minimum. Please refrain from smoking or vaping close to other cars or attendees. We encourage everyone to enjoy the summer evening and sit outside - we have some boom boxes for audio! ALL CARS MUST KEEP IT SLOW when driving in the parking area. Children are welcome, but we ask you supervise them at all times. Same with pets, welcome but dogs need to be leashed at all times. Access to parking lot closes after the movie starts, at which point we ask folks park in the adjacent lot and walk in with lawn chair/blanket so as not to disturb those watching the movie. Please do not drive in to the lot after the movie has started.
Snack Bar & Raffles: DONATE for SNACKS at our Concession Stand equipped with popcorn, hot dogs, candy and refreshments! There's usually themed cupcakes and/or other treats plus A RAFFLE with awesome prizes!! Raffles are held during intermission and usually feature a movie-themed prize-pack!... Small bills are appreciated!
