Toronto is getting a new outdoor movie theatre with free popcorn
Drive-In Downsview is a pop-up drive-in cinema coming to The Hangar District at Downsview Park this May.
It's no secret that Toronto is obsessed with both drive-in and al-fresco outdoor movie screenings, and the Drive-in Downsview will be a hybrid of both styles, so you go either as a carpool or just bring your lawn chair and sit under the stars.
Introducing Drive-In Downsview: A Pop-Up Film Experience in The Hangar District! We have partnered with 4 incredible local organizations to bring you a movie experience like no other. Limited tickets are available: https://t.co/Y6zzpDcKpl pic.twitter.com/bz60Yl7UIU

The event is being put together by the same folks who brought us Hangar Skate and the Light Up Downsview show.
Admission is pay-what-you-can, with all the proceeds being donated to a different local charity to match the theme of the screening.
Screening schedule
- May 6th - Disney's Encanto, with proceeds going to the Philippine Legacy and Cultural Alliance.
- May 13th - 90s coming-of-age film, Smoke Signals, with proceeds going to support the MCFN Youth Education Grant Program.
- May 21st - Jessica Alba in her classic dance movie, Honey, with proceeds going to Just BGraphic.
- May 28th - The latest installment of Puss in Boots, with all proceeds going to the North York Harvest Food Bank.
Snacks and refreshments will also be provided totally free. How's that for a change of pace at the movies?
Unlike other outdoor film fests like the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show where it's first-come-first-serve for a spot, this event requires you to book your ticket online in advance, so get yours now while they're still available.
Screenings are set go ahead rain or shine!
