To maintain social distance, moviegoers are turning to a vintage trend for a safer way of spending time at the cinema. For a uniquely classic silver screen experience, we recommend going to see a film at the San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre, which is set to reopen this month.
Formerly located in Lake Balboa, Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will soon be opening at a new destination within the area. Since all guests watch a movie from the privacy of their cars with audio broadcasted on the radio, social distancing protocol is built-in as part of this retro nighttime activity. Plus, there's a nostalgic charm to watching a motion picture beneath the stars from the safety of your vehicle.
While the first drive-in movie theatre was opened in 1915, outdoor drive-in theatres peaked in popularity during the 1950s and early 1960s. It's only natural, then, that San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will be showing a stellar selection of classic films this month, including The Sandlot, Grease, and Jurassic Park. At its new location in Westfield Fashion Square - about 20 minutes from Ocean View - the San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will be showing each movie at 8:30 pm, beginning on Thursday, August 13th.
