Coming soon to a City of Boston parking near you: Drive-in movies.
A joint effort from Mayor Marty Walsh, Boston Parks and Recreation, and the Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment will bring a free drive-in movie series to city parking lots every Wednesday this month starting July 8.
Walsh announced the initiative on Twitter Wednesday afternoon with a video edited to resemble the beginning of a feature film, complete with a Dreamworks-inspired logo.
“This public health crisis has changed our lives in extraordinary ways, and this summer is certainly shaping up to look a lot different,” Walsh said. “I know we’re all missing the traditions and summer activities that we usually do and love, but even during these difficult times we’re still finding ways to come together, and that’s what we’re here doing tonight.”

The first two nights of the drive-in series will take place in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center parking lot. On July 8 you can watch a double feature of “Moana” and “Yesterday” at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively, while July 15 brings a double billing of “Frozen” and “Jurassic Park” at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively.
For July 22 and 29, the fun moves to the parking lot at 121 Halleck St. in Roxbury, with a 6 p.m. screening of “Coco” on July 22 and a double feature of “Trolls” and “Harriet” on July 29 at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively.
Similar to other drive-in movie theaters in Massachusetts that have opened during the coronavirus pandemic, Boston’s drive-in requires guests to park cars at least six feet apart and wear masks any time they are outside their own vehicle. Guests must also wear face coverings while in line for concessions or restrooms, which will be cleaned regularly.
All movies are free and open to Boston residents, but guests must pre-register for the show on Eventbrite. Guests will be asked to show a printed RSVP or an e-mail confirmation upon arrival. To mitigate traffic, the city is asking residents not to arrive before the scheduled gate open time.
