It is with great sadness that we are cancelling tonight's triple-feature event at the Downriver Drive-In. With the winds ranging up to 15 mph and there being a chance of rain, these are not suitable conditions for the structure. 😔

Please remember this is not your typical drive-in movie screen and higher winds and rain can severely damage the equipment.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope to see you again in the future. Please have a safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃🤡👽☠️👹
