let's get social!
New drive-in festival rolls out music, movies, and more to Houston
In this new normal of masks (which some are donning, anyway) and social distancing, drive-in experiences are all the rage – witness the buzz of the Sawyer Yards drive-in movies.
Now, a new drive-in experience is rolling into Houston with a limited-engagement “super-sized, multi-sensory attraction,” according to press materials. The Parking Lot Social blends traditional drive-in movie action with live music, DJs, bingo, trivia, and more — all from the comfort and safety of a car.
The Parking Lot Social debuts its short Houston run on Wednesday, June 24 at Aveva Stadium, offering up five-nights of themed entertainment.
The fun kicks off on Wednesday, June 24, as standup comedians take to the stage for some much-needed laughs. Next up on Thursday comes a family-friendly, classic drive-in movie experience.
Weekend family activities on Saturday and Sunday include family trivia contest, Boy vs Girl and Parent vs Kid Silent Disco (led by live DJs), kid’s themed Car-A-Oke, and bingo.
Late night on Saturday and Sunday will see midnight movies across two 40-foot screens, complete with live DJs. Films include Jurassic Park and Scream.
