About the event:

Load up the car with friends or family and come watch the classics, new and old, at ChiTown Drive-in Movies.  A safe, fun, nostalgic evening where you can watch great movies

Watch from the front of your car, the back of your car, or bring lawn chairs and watch under the stars.  Order delicious popcorn, tacos, wings, and drinks from your phone that are delivered to your car. 

Highlights: 

🍔 Delicious Eats Delivered to Your Car

We deliver food and beverages straight to your vehicle, so you never miss a moment of the movie magic. Our crave-worthy menu includes tacos, wings, burgers, popcorn, beer, wine, and more — all brought right to your window.
Note: Outside food and beverages are not permitted

🎞 A Chicago Cultural Landmark

We never imagined movie theaters would close their doors — until the pandemic hit. Out of that moment, ChiTown Drive-In was born.
As Chicago’s only drive-in theater, we offer a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Pilsen. Whether you’re watching from your car or lounging under the open sky, each night is safe, affordable, and unforgettable.
We proudly hire local youth and curate every night with care — making ChiTown not just a destination, but a part of the community.

🧠 Why Drive-In?

The decline of drive-ins mirrored the rise of malls and home theaters. But in 2020, everything changed. People craved shared experiences again — just from a safe distance.
That’s where ChiTown Drive-In found its moment.
It’s not just about the movie — it’s about how you watch it: Under the stars. With people you love. Tacos in hand.

✨ What Makes Us Different

- SAFE – Enjoy peace of mind watching from your own vehicle
- COMFORTABLE – Recline your seat, bring blankets, tune into 89.9 FM
- PRIVATE – A cozy movie night, just you and your crew

🔊 Premium Sound + Pet Friendly 🐾

Hear every line perfectly through your car’s FM radio (89.9 FM) — or bring a portable radio if you’re sitting outside.
Pets are welcome too! Bring your dog, your cat… maybe not your pet zebra, but you get the idea

🚗 Reimagine the Movie Night

This is not a rooftop. It’s not a park lawn. This is your own drive-in haven — cozy, nostalgic, and uniquely ChiTown.

Let’s make movie nights magical again!
