Revivin’ Drive In

Overview

The beloved drive-in theatre simply refuses to fade into nostalgic memory. After bursting onto the scene in the late '50s, then relatively disappearing after being widely condemned as being unsustainable and obsolete, drive-ins have more recently had a resurgence becoming a novelty way to re-watch your favourite films and re-live the golden era.

With drive-in theatres few and far between on the Brisbane scene, where can a crazy kid turn to get their Happy Days on? Our Village Foundation plan to bring back the good old days with a unique drive-in event as part of this year’s Pine Rivers Festival. Everyone’s favourite retro stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John will be setting the scene as this year’s festival sees 70’s classic Grease as the movie of choice.

Aside from inevitable sing-along’s, the night will also include $2 amusement rides, food stalls and a Rock n’ Roll Diner to get you in the retro mood. There’s no need to employ some shifty friends-in-boot smuggling either as entry is only $5 per car or FREE for walk-ins. Don’t be stranded at the drive-in, bring along your whole crew! Gates open at 5pm with the movie beginning at 7pm.
