Ruthmarie, our summer nights are so mild (and relatively bug free) it is a pleasant experience.

Michael, this is something you HAVE to do. I remember movie nights at campgrounds as a kid, so much fun!

Sounds exciting. I am sure you get a great turnout. We have summer concerts in our area.

Gita, growing up in New England meant summer concerts at the bandstand in the center of town, whatever town you lived in. I think that's why I love movie night so much, reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for commenting

This is great! We have one drive-in theatre left in Milford NH -- and the kids love it... but it isn't free! This sounds like a great way for the family to do something together! Enjoy.

Joan, there were so many drive-in's in Massachusetts when I was growing up. It's sad that this part of Americana has gone by the wayside. Though, there is a new drive-in being built at Smith Mountain Lake right now, so I'm excited about it. Thanks for commenting.

Debbie, what a neat idea to bring the community together. Family outings are so important and they can't beat the cost.

Duane, we're lucky to have activities like this in our community. I'm sure families appreciate that this event is free!

Sounds like a fun thing to do with the kids

Krista, even my teenagers love it! My daughter went to an outdoor movie "Rear Window" this past week. I'm glad this generation has the opportunity we had as kids. Thanks for commenting.

Debbie: What fun! We are lucky enough to have one of the few remaining drive-in theaters in GA right here in Blue Ridge. There is truly something special about watching a movie "under the stars!"

by Kim Southern - Blue Ridge Real Estate (Century 21 Professional Realty Group)

Kim, I agree and you are lucky to have several theaters near you. I love going to evening concerts too, there's something about sitting on the grass under the stars.....

Hi Debbie this reminds me of going to a drive in movie as a kid. I bet this is a lot of fun :)

Bill, do you have any drive-ins left near you? The Wamesit drive in in Tewksbury survived til Home Depot went in about ten years ago.
