Everything to know about the new aquatic movie theater craze
If you're looking for some socially distant outdoor fun, an aquatic twist on the traditional drive-in movie theater experience may be right up your alley.
Come September, Floating Cinema will bring 12 to 24 mini boats -- each holding up to eight people -- to select cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Columbus, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Austin, Pittsburgh, New York, Orlando, Miami, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, San Francisco, San Diego and Denver.
The boat-in event, hosted by Beyond Cinema, will also travel to Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary before making various stops across Australia in October.
Due to the current state of the coronavirus pandemic, customers will be required to purchase enough tickets to fill an entire mini boat. Event organizers say this will help to ensure attendees are only seated with their family members and friends, allowing for social distancing protocols to be followed onboard and between boats on the water.
But before setting sail, be sure to snag some free popcorn! Other snacks and beverages will be available for purchase onsite.
The movie lineup has yet to be revealed, but organizers say they will feature a mix between "golden oldies and new releases."
Bon voyage!
