DRIVE IN THEATRE IS BACK IN DARTMOUTH
The Ghostbusters are back on the big screen at Alderney Landing

(Thursday, October 28, 2010) - Halifax-Dartmouth - The Halloween weekend is kicking off with free outdoor theatre in an urban setting. The classic Ghostbusters movie will air from 7pm - 10pm on October 29th at Alderney Landing Events Plaza and the event.

“Drive in theatre is new and exciting for a lot of our youth,” says Paul Forrest, Event Organizer. “It’s all about the experience; you can get in your car with family and friends, lean your seat back and turn up the FM radio.”

This is a B.Y.O.S. event (a.k.a. bring your own seat). There are up to sixty vehicle spots to watch the movie from while the film is projected on a massive screen. For those who miss out on the drive-in area or prefer the cool autumn air, we will offer seating in front of the vehicle locations.

$500 in prizes will be given away during our costume contest, so make sure you get creative. Also, all in attendance should bring a non-perishable food item for Feeding others of Dartmouth (FOOD) and help bury a coffin in treats.

For more information about the drive-in, please call the Ghostbusters’ infoline at 902-490-6773, or visit www.halifax.ca/events
