Do you and your family love the movies? Have you ever been itching to go to a drive-in? Well, you’re in luck! The Promenade, located at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and North Scottsdale Road will host an outdoor Moonlit Drive-In Movie series this April (every Saturday night), with festivities kicking off at 7:00 p.m. in front of Stein Mart.
The Promenade launched this free movie series last spring and is bringing it back by popular demand! This spring’s line-up for family-friendly flicks include:
April 2 – Minions
April 9 – Night at the Museum – Secret Tomb
April 16 – Kung Fu Panda 3
April 23 – Inside Out
April 30 – Alvin & the Chipmunks
Each film will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be shown on a 32-foot inflatable screen. Viewers are welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and other portable seating options. Many choose to watch the film from their cars and take advantage of the authentic “drive-in” feeling.
Moviegoers will have the opportunity to sample and/or purchase food and drinks from local vendors. A balloon twister and face painter will be on site offering free balloon animals and face painting; other contests, prizes and activities are also planned.
Additionally, throughout the movie series, The Promenade will be collecting household items for foster children who are aging out of the system and are setting up their very first apartments. Donations would be greatly appreciated. Suggested items include: paper products, bathroom and bedroom furnishings, and more. A complete list is available here. The partner non-profit for this drive is Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation.
