About the festival

Relive the drive-in movie experience--sans the car--with Elizabeth City’s beautiful waterfront at Mariners’ Wharf Park as the backdrop. Classic American films are shown on a large screen on nine consecutive Tuesdays at 8:30 PM from June 4th through July 30th.

There is no admission and all screenings are free to the public.
In celebration of our fifth anniversary, there will be great giveaways before each of the nine screenings. Fantastic items from our local downtown businesses can be yours for free but you must ATTEND TO WIN to be eligible for the drawing.
