Enderby’s Starlight Drive-in opens Friday

Enderby's Starlight Drive-in is kicking off its 2021 season two months early, and opening this weekend.

The popular drive-in movie theatre is putting on a double-bill of films each night from March 19, 20, and 21.

Ordinarily, the Starlight Drive-in opens its doors sometime in May, but this year it's opening during spring break.

The two movies are The Croods: A new Age and Freaky. The first film starts at 7:15 p.m. with the box office and concession opening at 6:15 p.m.

Tickets are limited due to the ongoing B.C Provincial Health orders and the driver-in has a maximum capacity of 50 vehicles. Tickets have to be purchased in advance online and the movie theatre is reminding guests that an FM radio is required to tune into the film's sound. The drive-in is also no longer renting portable radios.
