Drive-in theaters are great and all, but have you experienced a floating theater? A unique event is making its way to Northern California next season and it looks like it offers just that. At this Floating Cinema, you’ll enjoy a movie with family and friends from the comfort of a boat on the water, not a car. Currently, there’s a date picked out for San Francisco, and we’re counting down the days until we can experience it.

For one week only, Beyond Cinema is bringing its Floating Cinema experience to Northern California. This unique event will take place in San Francisco from September 2-6, 2020, and you definitely don't want to miss it.

The Floating Cinema is a one-of-a-kind movie-watching experience. Made up of 12 to 24 mini boats that can hold up to eight people each, guests will enjoy the movie while bobbing atop the water.

Tickets will require you to purchase an entire boat if you wish to attend the Floating Cinema. This way, groups can be seated with friends and family only. This also allows for safe social distancing between groups.
