In a year of many unexpected events, the drive-in theatre is making a comeback. Many of us have been missing a night out, live music, and movies on the big screen. A drive-in theatre can give you all three! And from the socially distanced safety of a car. As long as you’ve got access to wheels, you’re going to want to plan some summer evenings here:

The new Toronto-Shines drive-in at Ontario Place will offer a full night of entertainment – a comedian, live music, and a movie!

The films are being programmed in partnership with Hot Docs, imagineNATIVE, and TIFF.  You’ll feel a mix of  old-school vibes with modern times when you order food through an online app and a “roller-blading car hop” will deliver it straight to your car.
