“We’re putting on the Sugar Land Movie Series as a way to safely bring our community together to celebrate the holidays,” said Elizabeth Huff, City of Sugar Land Director of Economic Development, in a release. “The drive-in movie event will support the local economy, provide a socially-distanced activity for residents to enjoy and create an opportunity for those outside of Sugar Land to celebrate and experience what our community is all about.”
The drive-in movie experience at Crown Festival Park, 18355 Southwest Fwy, Sugar Land, will operate on select nights Dec. 5 through Jan. 2. The movie series was originally scheduled to kick off on Friday, Nov. 27 but was postponed due to inclement weather.
