DRIVE-IN GUIDELINES

BEFORE YOU JOIN US

• Advance ticket reservation is required. Tickets can be purchased online, for any screening not already sold out. We do not offer on-site ticketing. 

• Please plan ahead and arrive within the published opening times for the gates. Admission begins 45 minutes before event start time and closes 15 minutes before event start time.

• Please be prepared to show your ticket confirmation to the drive-in staff at the gates. You may display it on your phone, present a print-out, or give your name.

• Upon arrival, please check in with the box office attendant. On-site staff will direct you where to go next.

• Portable radios are available for those who would like to use one.

PLEASE BRING

• Bottles of water, snacks, or a full meal—from home or as take-out from a local restaurant.

• Beach and outdoor chairs, cushions, and blankets for comfy seating in and around your vehicle.

WHILE YOU’RE WITH US

• TUNE RADIOS TO 89.9 FM!

• To get to your parking space, please follow all Drive-In staff directions on site.

• Fully accessible, ADA-compliant bathrooms are available inside the Teen Center in the main YMCA building. Please enter through the door nearest the box office. To get there, follow the signs or ask Drive-In staff for directions. There will also be an attendant in the Teen Center throughout the screening. Please don’t leave food, drinks, or other trash in the bathrooms.

• Out of respect for other attendees (and the environment!), please do not idle your vehicle. We understand that you may need to charge your battery or turn on air conditioning periodically during the screening. Please be sure to have your headlights off, and keep your foot off the brake pedal so that your tail lights won’t bother others.

• All trash is “carry in, carry out.” There will be no trash, recycling, or composting bins at the drive-in. Please take your trash, recyclables, and any uneaten food home and dispose of it responsibly.

• No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed at the Drive-In.

• Audio will only be broadcast through an FM transmitter. You can tune in through your vehicle’s radio, or borrow one of ours. Please note that phone apps for radio do not work.

• For safety, when outside vehicles, shoes must be worn at all times by all moviegoers of all ages.

• The playground and climbing wall at the YMCA are not open during our screenings. For safety and legal reasons, please ensure everyone in your party remains in the audience area for the duration of the show.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

• Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate with our screening schedule, and while we all can weather a little passing rain, we do cancel or postpone in the event of stormy conditions.

• The difficult decision is made on the day of the screening, based on the best available weather data and our sincere hunch as islanders. Should we decide that conditions are unkind, we’ll be in touch with those who have purchased a ticket, to offer a refund or ticket transfer.

• Drive-In staff reserve the right to cancel during a screening, in the event of escalating wind and rain, and certainly at the first sign of thunder or lightning.
