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.
Encore at the Midway Movie Poll
Cast your vote by selecting your most loved movies from the curated options below. On Friday, September 5, we will be showing Golden Era Movies from the 1930s to 1970s.
