The special screening marks the start of Union Market’s annual classic American drive-in experience, which in partnership with Getaround, is held in the parking lot (1305 5th Street NE) and projected onto the market's wall. Each family-friendly showing is free for walk-up film fans in the picnic area, or costs $10 per car.
