Drive-In Movie Showing at Crab Meadow Beach

Town of Huntington’s Movies on the Lawn Program will continue with a “drive-in” movie at Crab Meadow Beach next week.

The summer movie series will show “Raiders of the Lost Ark” on Thursday, July 9.

The film stars Harrison Ford as the swashbuckling archaeologist, Indiana Jones.

“This is great family entertainment. Pack up your picnic supper, blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy this summer’s movie line-up,” said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson.

The movie kicks off at dark (around 8:30 p.m.)

Moviegoers are also invited to attend the Town’s Fourth Annual Sand Castle Contest at Crab Meadow Beach, which will be held prior to the movie showing. The contest is open to Huntington residents. Two winners, one for each age group, will receive a gift certificate to LaCasa Café. Gates to Crab Meadow Beach will open at 4pm for those registered in the Sand Castle Contest.

Overflow parking is available and a bus service will be offered to bring people and their belongings to the beach.

In case of rain, the showing will be held at Elwood Middle School auditorium, located at 473 Elwood Road, at 7:30 p.m. Check the Huntington Town website or call Councilman Mark Cuthbertson at 631-351-3112 for more information.

Event sponsors include Bethpage Federal Credit Union, Jonathan’s Ristorante of Huntington Village and LaCasa at Crab Meadow Beach.
