Drive-In Movie Theaters Are Starting To Pop Up All Over Maine
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.

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.

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!

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.
