- Enter the lot from 6th Street. There is one entrance into the lot.
- Please have your ticket ready for scanning.
- All films are broadcast to your car’s FM radio. Please be aware of how to put your car in Accessory mode, as engine idling is prohibited. If your car is not equipped with a radio, we recommended bringing one. The FM signal cannot be tuned into using a smartphone. There are no loudspeakers.
- All films are also shown with Open Captions, when available.
PARKING POLICIES
- Due to our parking lot arrangement, no vehicle may back into a space. ALL VEHICLES FACE FORWARD.
- Large or tall vehicles will be guided to park on the sides, or back of the lot.
- The decision to direct your car to a specific space is at the discretion of the lot staff. Failure to follow these instructions may result in your removal from the event.
- Once parked, you may not drive away until instructed by event staff.
- FOR SAFETY REASONS, NO CARS WILL BE ADMITTED AFTER THE LOT IS CLOSED. Lot open/close times are posted on the ticketing website and in your confirmation email. We suggest arriving early for spaces closest to the screen.

The only reason to leave your vehicle is to pick up a food order or use the restroom. Please follow procedures for each of these actions listed below.
