Summer At The Movies

Who doesn't like a great summer flick? And, even though they are a dying breed, drive-in theaters are still a great summer past time, especially when you can gather a group of friends or family, pack snacks and blankets and watch a great double-feature. If you like the nostalgia of the drive-in theater, you may also be the type to venture to your local park for evening showings on inflatable screens. (Check out Marymoor Park's summer lineup or the Comcast Outdoor Cinema brought to you by Epic Events).

Now you can bring the drive-in experience to your own backyard. With The Backyard Drive-in you can purchase your very own collapsible projector screen. Available in two sizes, the projector screen is easy to transport and set up. It makes a great addition to any summer party, event or wedding. You can even use it for other business projects, tradeshows, meetings and more.


See samples of the two available sizes below.


If you like the idea of hosting outdoor summer movies, but feel the need to purchase your own screens, you can rent them from Epic Events or Easterday Promotions.
