DURING THE EVENT

Key Parking Rule

  • NO ENGINE IDLING. Because vehicles are parked closely together, engine exhaust may affect the safety of others. We may request that you turn off the vehicle engine or reposition your vehicle to the rear of the lot. Guests may start their engine periodically to keep the battery fresh, but for no more than one minute.
  • Turn off ALL your vehicle lights.
  • Before attending the NYLFF Drive-in, consult your vehicle’s manual on how to turn off your daytime running lights, as this will be necessary to enjoy the film. Every car is different but for many it may be as simple as opening and closing the driver side door once the engine is off, or by putting on your emergency parking brake.

 

Can I picnic or tailgate during the film?
No. There is no picnicking on the grounds, vehicle roofs, hoods, trunks, or truck beds.

 

Can I leave my vehicle during the event?
All guests must stay inside their vehicle during the event except to use the restrooms or purchase concessions.

Masks are required any time you are outside your vehicle.

When outside your vehicle, please be respectful of others’ space.

 

Can I keep the engine idling?
Please refrain from idling your engine. If you need to periodically start your car to keep your battery charged, please limit the amount of time you are idling. For nighttime screenings, be aware that any lights in your car will be a distraction to others.

 

What should I do about my headlights?
Please dim your headlights before pulling into the theater and turn your lights (head, tail & interior) off before the movie starts

 

How will I hear the movie?
All films are broadcast and can be heard in your vehicle using your FM Radio. Those in physical VIP seats will hear through our front speakers.

The specific FM channel to tune to will be listed on the screen during the pre-show trailer.

If your vehicle is not equipped with a radio, it is recommended to bring one. The frequency will be provided at check-in and shown on screen.
