How do I get there?

Subway: take the 7 train to the 111st St. station. Bus: Take the Q58 bus to Corona Ave./104 St. station.

I don't have a car / I don't want to bring it. Can I still attend?

Yes! Pedestrian seating and audio will be available in front of the parking area. Chairs are provided, but you may also bring your own.

Be prepared to give your name or show your RSVP to check-in staff. From there, we will direct you to your parking spot, and wait for the sun to set. Our audio is quality FM stereo sound that is tuned directly through your car’s FM stereo.

How will parking be allocated?

For sight-line reasons, taller vehicles such as SUVs will be parked towards the rear of the venue so as not to block the views of smaller cars. Please RSVP according to the type of car you are bringing (Sedan / SUV / Oversize) so we can prepare to find the best space for your car!

Our audio is quality FM stereo sound that is tuned directly through your car’s FM stereo. Turn your key to accessory mode to keep your stereo on. If you don’t have an FM stereo, please bring a portable radio.

Will my battery die if I run my stereo in accessory mode?

Most vehicles will not have a problem. If you are concerned, we recommend turning your car on a few times during the movie. In the rare event your battery dies, we offer a complimentary jump-start that will quickly get you on your way.
