In the wake of a pandemic, traditional movie theatres are struggling, but a sudden resurgence in drive-ins just might save the film industry. The few drive-in movie theatres still in existence are some of the first places to reopen, or in many cases, they never closed at all.
Even though you can stream anything you want in the comfort of your home, it is hard not to grow restless and need to get out of the house even just for a little bit. With people looking for safe options to be entertained, drive-in movies are a perfect cross between a night out, yet still inside of your protective bubble.
Want to sit under the night sky stars and enjoy a movie?
Birmingham Movie Nights at Booth Park will help you experience just that. You'll get to enjoy free movies all summer long, outside with your family and friends.
Birmingham Movie Nights 2021 start at 7:30P.M. on select nights in the summer.

Booth Park is a family friendly park that features an playscape, tunnel, turf hill/amphitheater, rain garden, stream banks and a trail connecting to the Rouge River Trail.
Movies may be busy so just know that space is on a first-come-first-parked basis until full. Arriving early is the best way to ensure a spot for this popular attraction. It is asked that guests remember to social distance and give other visitors the recommended 6 feet of safe space when leaving your vehicle. Please note that advanced reservations will not be taken.
Now is the time to take advantage of summer and start a new family tradition: drive-in movie nights!
