College Hill is bringing back its drive-in movie theater this summer. 

Family-friendly movies will be projected on the back of the historic Hollywood Theater building at 1538 Cedar Ave. 

The cost is $25 for each car. Patrons are welcome to bring snacks or purchase food from a variety of local food vendors that will be at the drive-in every night. 

The College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation first showed films during Memorial Day weekend of last summer to benefit the historic Hollywood Theatre, which opened in 1925.

The event was so popular that CHCURC decided to extend it through Labor Day weekend and bring it back this summer. 

During the event, CHCURC will take COVID-19 safety measures like keeping cars parked 6 feet apart and using a touchless check-in system. 

The full schedule for this summer will be updated on their website when it becomes available.
