Mareeba Drive In

20/06/2026

We’ve accumulated quite a collection of clean 10-litre ice cream buckets with matching lids and would love to see them reused rather than thrown away.

Perfect for:
✅ Storage
✅ Gardening
✅ Animal feed
✅ Camping
✅ DIY projects
✅ Kids’ activities

If you’d like some, send us a message or pop into the cafe on movie nights :)

This Friday and Saturday, we’re bringing two very different adventures to the big screen for one weekend only.

Join us for the latest journey into a galaxy far, far away with The Mandalorian & Grogu, followed by the heartwarming and uplifting Rental Family.

Gates and cafe open from 5:30pm

All for less than the price of a single cinema ticket at many traditional cinemas.

Pack the car, tune in to 96.0 FM, grab dinner, popcorn and a choc top from the cafe, and enjoy a night under the stars at the Mareeba Drive-In.

See you this weekend!

It’s not often the stars of the movies make a personal appearance at the Drive-In… but this weekend, one did!

After screening Anaconda on Saturday night, we had a rather unexpected visitor turn up on Sunday morning.

Big day out at the Mareeba Drive-In today 🔨☀️

The rebuild of our outdoor sign is finally underway after it was destroyed earlier this year. The boys have spent the entire day working on the new structure and it’s nice to finally see it starting to take shape.

It’s not the original sign, but for many people it’s still become a familiar part of arriving at the drive-in over the years, so we’re looking forward to seeing the new one up soon.

Still plenty left to do, but here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at today’s progress.
