Answers to FAQ’s You May Have about the Plaza Classic Film Fest

The Plaza Classic Film Festival is officially underway! This year's film fest is taking on a new life and going on tour! One of my favorite events of the year, the Plaza Classic Film Festival begins tonight, July 30th and runs until August 9th. Unfortunately, the festival will not happen inside the beautiful Plaza Theater but instead in the outdoors drive-in style!

Films will be shown drive-in style at various locations so you have options to choose which classic film you'll see on the big screen! You can check out the complete schedule and locations by clicking here. Because we are in new territory for the Plaza Classic Film Fest, there are a lot of questions surrounding the film fest. Thankfully, the Plaza Classic Film Fest has answers.
