Town of Outlook’s Drive-In Movie Night!
The Town of Outlook has moved their drive-in movie night to July 10, 2024 at 9:30pm.
“The movie will be set up SOUTH of the ball diamonds. This is a drive-in movie so smaller vehicles in the front, larger vehicles in the back. Staff will be onsite to help navigate traffic. This movie is rescheduled from Father’s Day so we will be watching “Daddy’s Home!” Concession onsite – cash only!,” they shared.
Drive-in movie theaters in Saskatchewan, Canada, began to emerge in the late 1940s and early 1950s, following the post-World War II boom in car culture and outdoor entertainment. This innovation offered a novel way for families and individuals to enjoy films from the comfort of their own vehicles, combining the convenience of modern transportation with the popular pastime of movie-going.
The golden age of drive-in theaters in Saskatchewan spanned the 1950s and 1960s, mirroring a North American trend. During this period, numerous drive-ins popped up across the province, serving both urban and rural communities!
