The Hidden Drive-In Should Totally Be Your Next Date Night In Columbus 😍

Grab your quarantine crew, hop in the car, and watch a flick the old-fashioned way at the Easton Sunset Series Drive-In! Easton will announce their next week’s line-up every Friday, so follow them on social media and visit their website to stay informed! 📽🍿

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

What would you all say to a fun night out this weekend? The Hidden Drive-In is going down on Saturday night and if I'm being honest, it's been a while since I've been this excited to share something with you guys. I feel like we've pushed pause on events due to COVID-19, but this physically distant event is a great way to get out of the house and stay safe. There will be live music, dinner, and a movie. Hello, date night!

This might be the truest thing I've ever read about Columbus.
