Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

After a long winter of being stuck inside, we have our hearts set on enjoying some of the best things Maine has to offer this spring and summer. While that might look a bit different this year, there are a few things that look to be re-appearing as planned. Little-by-little drive-in movie theaters are announcing their opening days and we can’t wait to enjoy some entertainment without having to enter a packed theater.

This classic drive-in with two different screens is a favorite of folks in the area as well as those who make an annual visit to camp.

The name suggests that you'll find it in Bangor, but you'll actually need to head to nearby Herman to enjoy this wonderful drive-in. Set to open for the season on May 15th, you'll want to check with themfor showtimes and schedule. Then, pack your car with good vibes and enjoy a socially-distanced night out!
You get two experiences at Narrow Gauge! Choose to see a movie inside or, in the summer, experience their outdoor drive-in. The season begins May 14th with "Call of the Wild" at 8pm, but be sure to check out their schedule for upcoming shows here. And, we especially love the price. A car of up to 6 people is just $5 and comes with 2 popcorns!
While there's no firm date for this season's opening, we're hopeful that it will be in May. Movies here are worth showing up early for. The surroundings are beautiful and in the summer, it just smells like Maine in the country. Follow them on Facebook for updates on schedule
Set to open on May 22nd, this southern Maine drive-in is a favorite among tourists. While the schedule of movies has not yet been released, we're looking forward to simply enjoying the setting. They'll be operating a bit differently this season, so be sure to check them out on Facebook for updates.
After completing some maintenance and regular preparation for the season, this fun spot is scheduled to open in May. Approved by the Governor, the only thing holding them back is the weather. Let's all hope for the warmth of spring to arrive soon! Keep track of opening plans through their Facebook page.
