“For more than two decades, Film on the Rocks has been delivering memorable summer traditions and experiences to our audiences,” said Denver Film Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Smith. “Beginning this year, we’re excited to join our partners at Denver Arts & Venues to extend that experience and help create some stand-out winter memories for thousands of our guests around some of their favorite holiday films.”
Each film is presented on a 48-foot by 28-foot LED screen located in the Red Rocks Lower South Lot 2 parking area with audio delivered through a designated FM radio frequency. Guests are required to remain inside their vehicles for the duration of the events.
“Our Denver-area audiences delivered an overwhelmingly positive response to both our 2020 and 2021 drive-in series,” said Brian Kitts with Denver Arts & Venues. “With more people able to get together in person this holiday season and people coming in from out of town, we know that a holiday Red Rocks drive-in will be a very memorable experience for friends and families across generations.”
