Durham Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Durham County Memorial Stadium will offer a series of free drive-in movies for residents to enjoy from the comfort of their car. Bull City Reels on Wheels will be held on August 29 and once a month through December.
Movie goers can enjoy a movie under the stars, on a big screen at the Durham County Stadium at 750 Stadium Drive. City staff will be on-site to direct traffic and help facilitate parking. Car placement will be on a first-come, first-serve basis based on vehicle size. Times vary and the gates open one hour before show-time. See the schedule below.
To encourage social distancing and promote safety, moviegoers are asked to remain in their vehicles to enjoy the show. Patrons are required to wear masks when they are at the food truck area or the portable restrooms available on-site. Social distancing line markers will be on the ground at the food truck area and the restrooms’ entrance.
Participants can bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages or support the Durham economy by purchasing refreshments from the food truck area on-site. Sharing food between vehicles is prohibited.
There is no cost for entry to the movie, but complimentary tickets must be reserved online. Reserving your ticket online guarantees you entry to the movie. Only one ticket needed per car. We only authorize as many tickets as we have spots available for each show. Ticket registration will be available online until all spots are full or until 3 p.m. on the day of the event. No tickets will be issued at the gate.
