Lake Shore Drive-In Theatre
Etiquette Guide

Welcome to the Lake Shore Drive-In Theatre! To ensure a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone, we kindly ask all our guests—affectionately known as "Ozoners"—to observe the following etiquette:

 

1. Dim Your Lights:

Always dim your headlights before entering the lot to help maintain a cozy atmosphere for all guests.

 

2. Parking Etiquette: 

- Park as close to a light pole as possible to allow ample space for your neighbors.

- If you're in a van, truck, or SUV, please use the designated aisles for larger vehicles.

 

3. Cleanliness Matters:  

Please do not litter. Keeping our theatre clean is important for everyone's safety and enjoyment.

 

4. Foot Off the Brake:  

Keep your foot off the brake pedal when parked to prevent your brake lights from distracting others.

 

5. Control Interior Lighting:  

Do your best to manage your interior lighting during the movie to enhance the viewing experience for all.

 

6. Drive Slowly and Safely:  

Always drive at a slow speed and keep an eye out for children. Safety is our top priority!

 

7. Support Our Concession Stand:  

Theatres earn very little (on average, under 30%) from ticket sales and rely heavily on concession sales to remain operational. We encourage you to support our concession stand and help keep Americana and the Lake Shore Drive-In Theatre thriving.

 

8. Child Safety:  

Remind your children not to run between cars or in the aisles. If they get lost, instruct them to go to the concession stand and ask a clerk for assistance.

 

9. No Grills or Fireworks:  

For safety reasons, please do not bring or use grills or fireworks on the property. These can pose significant hazards.

 

10. Make Friends!  

Take a moment to meet your neighbors. A friendly smile or handshake can make the night even more enjoyable!

 

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a welcoming environment for all our guests. Enjoy the show!
