Anyone going to the "Drive- In" at Crab Meadow this Thursday???

I'm thinking of going, they're showing "Finding Neverland".
Has anyone ever been to this before?
It's such a great idea, I miss the drive-in.
I'd love to just walk there & watch the movie on the beach, but I'm not sure of the setup.

WOW...didn't know about it..
I am wondering myself how they would set it up.

I'm thinking you just park in the lot.
But I wonder if the screen will also be in the lot or maybe we face the beach & it's set up there?

It’s Show Time! Movies on the Lawn Program Back Again This Summer

Huntington, NY – Due to the overwhelming success and positive feedback last year from Councilman Mark Cuthbertson’s Movies on the Lawn Program, the Town of Huntington is proud to put four blockbuster hits on this year’s summer calendar. Councilman Cuthbertson stated, “I could tell after our first performance last year, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, that this program would be embraced by the Town for years to come.”

This summer, the huge inflatable blow up ‘drive-in’ screen, will be the screen of choice for all outdoor performances this year – even those ‘on the lawn’. Equipped with twelve surround sound speakers, this set up will accommodate many, many moviegoers for maximum viewing and listening enjoyment.

“This is great family entertainment. Pack up your picnic supper, blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy this summer’s movie line-up,” said Cuthbertson. It is suggested that you pack lawn chairs, even for the drive-in performances, in the event the drive in lot fills early. Overflow parking is available and bus service brings people and their belongings to the beach.

The schedule starts with a ‘lawn performance’ at Dix Hills Park on June 29th. Park in the pool parking lot. This natural amphitheater setting will feature Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Then it’s back to the 1950’s for an old-fashioned drive in on July 21st at Crab Meadow Beach, featuring Finding Neverland. In addition to the surround sound speakers, those parked in the drive in section will have the opportunity to tune into a special channel for sound broadcast through their car radios. Popcorn will be provided courtesy of LaCasa Café.

Back to the lawn on August 8th. Sponge Bob will headline at Huntington’s beautiful Heckscher Park. Ending the series on August 25th will be another drive-in performance at Crab Meadow Beach and will feature Shrek 2. Once again, popcorn will be provided courtesy of LaCasa Café.

All movies begin at darkness. In the event of inclement weather, performances will be held indoors at John Glenn High School Auditorium, Elwood Road and begin at 7:30 pm. Check the website for up to date information on performances: http://town.huntington.ny.us or call Councilman Mark Cuthbertson at 631-351-3112.
