🎬🦈 ONE LAST THROWBACK THURSDAY! 🤠✨

If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you might remember that we kicked off our very first Throwback Thursday with Jurassic Park & Jaws. Unfortunately, an issue with the content meant that those who stayed for Jaws didn’t get to see it.

We promised everyone we sent home that night that before the season was over, we’d bring Jaws back.

And a promise is a promise. 🦈

So for our final Throwback Thursday, JAWS is getting its second chance on the big screen. And this time we’re pairing it with an absolute adventure classic — RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK! 🤠🐍

📽 Showing Thursday September 3rd:
-JAWS -@8:30pm
-Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark- @10:40pm

🍕 And of course, it wouldn’t be Thursday without our $15 LARGE PIZZA SPECIAL!

Grab your blankets, lawn chairs and your favorite movie buddy and join us for one last Throwback Thursday at The Route 16 Drive-In. 🎬🍿❤️

RAIN POLICY 🌧
Generally speaking we will be open despite the rain. But if the property gets too wet or we feel like the weather is questionable we will update here by 430pm whether or not we will be open. That being said the property is already very wet and the forecast is rain all night, so we have decided to close today Sunday August 23rd. We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope to see you on dryer days! Check back tomorrow for next weeks line up!
