Midway Drive-In Adds Harry Potter Fest To Outdoor Movie Season

If you're looking for a chance to hit a drive-in movie theater before the end of the season and you're a fan of "Harry Potter," there is a special weekend in Illinois coming up that you won't want to miss.

"Harry Potter" Movie Festival Coming To Popular Illinois Outdoor Theater

When my friends and I were in high school, we used to do movie marathons in my parents' basement. For example, one time during Christmas break we stayed up all night and watched all the "Friday the 13th" movies back to back. It was fun. I've always wanted to do that at a theater when they do all the "Star Wars" films or something similar. It would definitely require a lot of snacks.

According to The Midway Drive In...

The Midway is a beautiful Drive-In. From the classic retro “spaceship” ticket booth, to the full-service concession stand, a trip to the Midway is like entering a time capsule to the 1950s.

The Midway Drive-In in Sterling does a lot of cool events throughout the outdoor movie season. Of course, they host their annual From Dusk To Dawn Horror Fests in the spring and fall, but this year, the Midway is doing something new. It's a "Harry Potter" Fest. Grab the family and have a wonderful night at the drive-in movie theater.
