All proceeds from the drive-in will go toward Easter Seals, who work to bring transportation services, camps, educational classes, and more to those with diverse abilities.

Note that the event does allow pets, but they must be leashed when outside in the parking lot, and must remain in the car with you during the movie.

Tickets are by donation, but must be reserved online and presented upon entry.

And that’s all for now, Vancouver! Grab some blankets and snacks and get ready for some cozy viewing.
