It’s time for a party, y’all — social distancing style! Headed to Dallas and Austin in the near future, The Parking Lot Social is an epic drive-in event featuring live music, food, movies, comedy, trivia, bingo, and even a “silent disco!” This is sure to be an outing you’ll never forget.
Touring 'round the world, The Parking Lot Social is an innovative experience that allows for safe, socially-distanced fun. From the comfort of your vehicle, enjoy live music, movies, comedy, games, and so much more -- all with a unique spin to adapt to these unprecedented times.
Dallas and Austin are on the schedule; however, dates have yet to be announced.
All tickets must be purchased online to minimize contact wherever possible. Display it on either your phone or dashboard and a friendly staff member will get you checked in.
Two 40-foot screens ensure everyone gets the best seat in the house. VIP ticket holders get to park in the first two rows, and all other attendees will be directed to their spot on a first-come, first-served basis.
Guests are asked to remain in their vehicles at all times, except for using the restroom. Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the grounds in the event you must exit your vehicle. Sound will play on a specified radio station.
Once night falls, the party starts. DJs mix insane beats, musicians sing and play their hearts out, and "car-a-oke" lets you join in the performances. Wireless headphones provided to each guest transmit a "silent disco" featuring groovy tunes of yesteryear.
Thursday evenings are '90s nights, Sundays offer a classic drive-in movie experience for all ages, and daytime on Saturdays and Sundays is all for the little ones.
Friday and Saturday nights are the "standard" Parking Lot Social experience, offering a unique mix of entertainment. Trivia, karaoke, DJ battles, and music are just several of the activities you can expect.
