The City of Salem presents the 2020 edition of the Summer Drive-In series produced by Creative Collective. We are excited to be welcoming The Cabot and Root to this event for amazing concession options! Come in early and grab a drink, some food, and enjoy the pre-show!
The Cabot and Root will have cold beverages, popcorn, candy, and more. Please consider supporting them!
Gates: 7:30PM
Movie: 8:30PM
You will be entering at the far end of Forest Ave at the second entrance to the lot, please enter via Canal Street. We will be arranging cars by size! If you have a large truck you will be asked to park in a row further from the screen regardless of when you arrive.
The audio will ONLY be available via FM transmitter. Keep your car owner's manual handy. If using the radio to listen to the movie, you’ll need to know how to keep it on while keeping headlights and other accessories in your vehicle off – you may need your car manual for that. Additionally, every car has its quarks with headlights, alarm systems, automatic doors, interior lights, etc. It’s best to have the most accurate info handy to solve issues fast.
PLEASE make sure and remove all trash and personal belongings at the end of the movie, there will be trash and recycling receptacles available.
The actual start time of the movie is dependent on sunset and weather. We try to start the film no later than 8:30 PM. We will start car load-in at 7:30 PM. Full details with instructions will be sent out to buyers the day before the event. Make sure to use an email address you frequently check. We will be relaying the information about the radio station that will be used upon arrival!
