There’s nothing better than tossing a few pillows into the car, popping some corn and catching a film behind the dashboard! This summer, as long as you’re up for a bit of a drive, consider heading to High River where they’ll be kicking off their 2023 Sunset Drive-in movie series next month.

Held annually, this event is beloved by locals and those passing through (plus it’ll win you a few date points if you’re cheeky about it.)
