The Midway Drive-in reopens for a special two-night event this September!

For two nights only, the Midway Drive-in Theatre is back open — located halfway between Port Hope and Cobourg (at 2141 Theatre Rd. South), the whole community is invited to join the fun. It is our Farewell Fundraiser; raising much needed support for youth in need from Northumberland through the YMCA!

Each night features a double-feature under the stars. And we want Northumberland residents to help choose the films that will light up the screen one last time.

CAST YOUR VOTE TO PLAY A PART IN “WHAT’S PLAYING!”

Help us write the final chapter of the Midway Drive-In! We’re bringing the big screen back for two farewell nights — and YOU decide what films roll.

👉 Voting is now open to July 15!

 👉 Choose your favourite from each category below

 👉 The four top-voted films will be revealed after voting closes!

💛 All proceeds support Back on Track — YMCA Northumberland’s transformative program for youth in need! Learn more here.
