Western Downs residents will receive a blast from the past with the triumphant return of the drive-in cinema for all ages this winter.
Western Downs Regional Council is bringing outdoor movies to Dalby, Miles, and Tara with a free community event in July.
The adventures of The Croods family in The Croods 2: A New Age will be shown at the outdoor cinema experience.
Councillor Kaye Maguire said the outdoor movies offered an opportunity for people to come together and be a part of the community.
“Council is excited to deliver projects that ensure our residents are united by social, cultural and sporting activities in their local area,” Cr Maguire said.
“Watching movies with friends and family with the experience of a drive-in is a great event that I am happy to see is back for another year.”
Cr Maguire said the drive-in wasn’t just about providing an exciting new event for the region, but promoted the Western Downs as a desirable family destination.
“This year’s events are BYO so make sure you stock up on yummy goodies and beverages from your local shops,” she said.
“We want the region to enjoy the experience so all you need to do is attend any of the three local events, sit back in your car, turn the radio on and enjoy a fun-filled movie with your blankets and snacks.”
This event is an unlicensed event.
Due to the outdoor movie nights being a COVID safe event, attendees will need to be in or around their own vehicles.
