The Griffith Youth Advisory Group (YAG), in partnership with Pristine Productions, proudly hosted a highly successful Drive-In Movie Night on Friday, August 30 at Griffith Showgrounds.

The event, which featured the blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick, attracted approximately 250 cars, each with two to four moviegoers ready to enjoy a night of cinema under the stars.

The event was a resounding success, with attendees displaying excellent behaviour, creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the choice of movie and the unique experience of watching it in a drive-in setting.

Youth Advisor at Griffith City Council, Ellie Andreazza highlighted the importance of such events for the local community.

“The Drive-in movie night was an incredible experience for our young people,” Ms Andreazza said.

“It provided a safe and fun environment where they could come together and enjoy a movie and socialise.

“Events like these are so important for building a sense of community and offering entertainment that appeals to everyone.”

Director of Economic and Organisational Development at Griffith Council, Shireen Donaldson expressed her delight at the event’s success.

“We are so proud of the YAG who delivered this event, and we are amazed with the turnout and the enthusiastic response from the community,” Ms Donaldson said.

“The success of the Top Gun: Maverick screening shows there is a strong appetite for more events like this.

“We are already looking forward to a planning an even bigger and better drive-in movie night in the future.”

To help ensure future events are even more successful, the YAG has asked attendees to complete a short survey.

The feedback gathered will be invaluable in helping improve and create an even better experience next time.
