February 24, 2021 – FYI

The City and Borough of Juneau Parks & Recreation has partnered with Gold Town Nickelodeon to present a free drive-in movie on Friday, February 26 at 6 pm – “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (PG-13, 2017). The drive-in is at the Savikko Park parking lot, which has capacity for 50 cars. Reservations, which are required, open Thursday, February 25, at noon and will be available here under the “Special Events” tab.

In preparation for this event, the Savikko Park parking lot near Sandy Beach in Douglas will be closed to the public starting at noon on Friday, February 26. The movie starts at 6 pm and the parking lot opens at 5 pm.

Drive-in rules:

  • You must be in a vehicle to enter the lot. There is no entry on foot or on any sort of bicycle, including scooters, motorcycles, or other non-enclosed modes of transport. RV’s/campers/buses/ trailers are not allowed.
  • Please park where directed. You may not save spaces for yourself or anyone else prior to the lot opening. Parking is based on vehicle height, with shorter cars in front, taller ones in back. If you have a roof rack or storage pod, expect to be in the back.
  • A face covering must be worn when checking in and at all times outside of your vehicle.
  • We ask that you only have immediate family members or members of the same household/social bubble in each vehicle.
  • Your vehicle must have a working FM radio to hear the movie. If it does not, bring something that picks up a radio signal (apps do not work).
  • If you have a truck with an open bed, you may sit in the open truck bed. You may not sit on top of your vehicle.
  • Please remain in your vehicle throughout the movie, except in an emergency or to use the restroom.
