Who says the beach is just for swimming? The Elkhart Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a free drive-in movie at the Ideal Beach.

This family-friendly event will take place ata 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3. Gates will open one hour in advance of the showing of “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.”

Concession stands will also be open for guests to purchase drinks, popcorn, and candy.

Just like a drive-in theatre, guests can bring a blanket, a chair, or watch from their vehicle.

The beach will be closed to swimmers during the movie and will re-open for normal hours at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4.
