The airport announced Wednesday it is setting up a makeshift drive-in theater on the northeast corner of the property.

The airport will install two massive 50-foot screens that will show movies on four separate evenings. Moviegoers will be able to tune in through an FM radio signal.

The event is a collaboration between the airport, the city of Ontario and Los Angeles-based Street Food Cinema.

A reservation is required for every car. To reserve your spot, click here.

While the event is free, moviegoers are asked to bring a donation of canned or boxed food to go to local foodbanks.

The schedule is as follows:

  • June 19: "Ford v Ferrari" (sold out)
  • July 3: "The Sandlot"
  • July 17: "Princess Bride"
  • July 31: "Napoleon Dynamite"

Every showing begins at 8:30 p.m. There will be several food vendors on site as well.

Like other airports, Ontario has seen passenger traffic plummet since the pandemic began.
