The Rhody Drive-In Movie Craze

Spend your nights social distancing with movies and concerts from your car

Posted

The retro summer evening outing of watching a movie from your car is the new social distancing craze all over RI. Classic spots from summers past have reopened this season to carry on the tradition, while other organizations have created drive-in spots in their own backyards to make sure movie lovers can still come together while staying apart.
