Windows down, snacks packed, and Ford v Ferrari under the summer sky.

Summer nights in Tacoma are about to get even better. America’s Car Museum (ACM) is kicking off the season with its first Drive-In Movie Night on Friday, June 26th, inviting the community to gather for an unforgettable evening of cars, connection, and cinema.

Whether you roll in with your daily driver, a polished classic, a project car, or your favorite two-seater, all vehicles—and all people—are welcome. This event is completely free and open to the public, making it the perfect way to enjoy a laid-back summer night without breaking the bank.

A Night Built for Car Lovers (and Everyone Else)

Drive-In Movie Night isn’t just about the film—it’s about the atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, find their perfect viewing spot, and set up camp for a relaxed evening surrounded by fellow car enthusiasts and community members. Expect a vibrant mix of vehicles, from modern SUVs and trucks to vintage rides and passion projects, all sharing the same space.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the energy shifts. Music, conversation, and the hum of engines set the tone before the main event begins.

The Feature Film: Ford v Ferrari

Taking center stage after sunset is the acclaimed racing drama Ford v Ferrari, a film that celebrates innovation, rivalry, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Set against the backdrop of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, the movie captures the spirit of automotive competition and storytelling that resonates with casual viewers and hardcore enthusiasts alike.

It’s the kind of film that feels right at home at ACM, a place dedicated to preserving and celebrating car culture.

Food, Friends, and Summer Vibes

No movie night is complete without great food and good company. Guests are encouraged to bring snacks, pack a picnic, and make an evening of it. Whether you’re sharing laughs with friends, spending time with family, or enjoying a date night under the stars, the event offers a relaxed, welcoming environment for everyone.

This isn’t just a movie screening, it’s a chance to slow down, unplug, and take in the simple joys of a warm summer evening.

Community at the Core

At its heart, Drive-In Movie Night is about bringing people together. ACM continues to serve as a hub for car culture in the Pacific Northwest, and events like this highlight its commitment to accessibility and community engagement.

Thanks to the support of Tacoma Creates, this experience remains free and inclusive, ensuring that anyone can be part of the fun.
