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 Sept. 5 & 6 — 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 YOU to help choose the films that will light up the screen one last time.
THANK YOU FOR CASTING YOUR VOTE TO PLAY A PART IN “WHAT’S PLAYING!”
We will be announcing the winners and more event details soon, including opening online ticket purchasing.
Thanks again for playing a part in this special event!
💛 All proceeds support Back on Track — YMCA Northumberland’s transformative program for youth in need! Learn more here.
