Get ready to go to movies as Falconwood Park revealed its summer drive-in movie lineup, marking the eighth season of screenings.
Beginning May 24, at each screening, visitors can enjoy a variety of food trucks and Falconwood Park’s concessions. Screenings take place every Saturday and Sunday. For a more immersive experience, consider booking one of the park’s Glamping Cabins and turn a movie night into a mini-getaway.
“We had a great run last year, and our Halloween Series in October was sold out for the majority of the dates,” said Falconwood Park owner, Brandon Miller. “I’m looking forward to seeing returning movie goers and new faces this summer!”
Opening weekend at the park kicks off with “Shrek” and “The Goonies.” The summer series will also feature some never before shown films at Falconwood. Some notable mentions: “Almost Famous” the week of Classic Rock Clash on June 27, a Double Feature of “Top Gun” and “Top Gun: Maverick” ahead of the Fourth of July on July 3, and “Barbie” on Thursday, July 18, ahead of GRRRL CAMP festival.

“We wanted to make sure we were showing the classics, but also bringing movies that most drive-in theaters don’t typically show,” said Shannon Claire, executive director/talent buyer. “We had an overwhelming response to a few online posts that asked what our followers wanted to see, and I think we did a good job booking the most requested, along with sprinkling in some of our own must sees.”
Food Trucks will alternate between Tastee’s Trailer, The Cheese Life, Taste of Heaven, La Cabinita Taco, The Laughing Boar, Family Traditions BBQ & Sweet’s, Santiago’s Mexican, Abra Kebabra, and Hyde’s Slydes.
Falconwood Lodge has a full bar with an array of beers, spirits and ciders, plus non-alcoholic options. Slushies will also be available, and guests can add a spirit of their choice to top it off. The lodge will have popcorn and a variety of favorite theater candy to purchase.
Each date is all ages, and parental discretion is of course advised. Dogs are welcome as long as they are leashed, well-behaved and used to crowds. The park has their own “bark rangers” that will be roaming free.
Gates open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at dusk. Admission is $5 per person, with children 4 and younger getting in free.
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so plan to arrive early to secure a good spot.
