The pandemic has changed quite a few things in our lives, including how we hold events. Drive-in theaters have been around for many years, with the first opening up on June 6, 1933, in Camden, New Jersey. Businesses are now coming up with creative ways to host events, while adhering to protocol. Although the pandemic has been devastating, people are longing for fun and interaction with the community. Hosting a drive-in event is a great way to do that!
Things to Consider When Planning a Drive-in Event
- Define Your Goals: Determine what you are looking to accomplish and how this event will enable you to do that.
- Budget: This seems like a no-brainer, but budgeting is an essential part in event planning and will help clarify other aspects of your plan.
- Venue: There are over 300 drive-ins across the nation, so get creative with it. Find a space that suits your needs while giving a unique experience to attendees.
- Identify Equipment Needs: Do you need staging, lighting, sound, etc.?
- Regulations and Permitting: Research what is needed in the county to produce an event.
