It’s time once again to go over the rainbow and enter a world of pure imagination, as The Mahoning Drive-In Theater opens for its 77th season of 35mm cinema under the stars!On April 10-11, we present our traditional opening double feature, a time for friends and family to come together and celebrate two films so many of us grew up with, from annual TV broadcasts to early home video, that took us to magical lands filled with sparkling wonders: THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971)!
And this year, we’re thrilled to announce a super cheesy special guest, joining us from a far-off land of tantalizingly tasty treat-making, scrumdiddlyumptious stars of the snack bar, Ricos Products! That’s right, Rico himself, and the amazing Ricos Nacho Truck!
Representatives from Ricos will be on site and outtasite both nights to meet fans and sell exclusive Ricos swag, not available online! All the way from San Antonio, in person, at the Mahoning, at last! Come out and welcome our #1 most beloved icon of Drive-In deliciousness! Si!
On Friday night, we join Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion as they dodge the Wicked Witch in search of THE WIZARD OF OZ. Then, after a brief intermission, everyone gets a Golden Ticket to enter the tasty, tantalizing (and occasionally terrifying) world of WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, the most musically munchable movie of all time!
Once again, we’ll be flipping the order of the films on Saturday night, to allow for those with earlier bedtimes to catch WILLY WONKA first, followed by THE WIZARD OF OZ.
In addition to both films presented in glorious 35mm, we’ll have a live DJ set before the films, themed décor and photo ops, costumed characters, special food items, raffles and one lucky winner each night who’ll find an actual Golden Ticket in their popcorn, redeemable for fabulous Wonka-worthy prizes!
Gates open at 6pm. Showtime At Sundown.
