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.
