Drive-in Movie Night
Cram your car full of friends and drive to Concord or San Jose for a free night of double features and $1 nachos at the Bay Area's two remaining old school drive-in movie theaters. Although the films are recent releases (like Captain America: The Winter Soldier), the experience is pure 1970s.
Thursday, Aug. 28, dusk. 1161 Solano Way, Concord, or 3630 Hillcap Ave., San Jose. Free; visit facebook.com/westwinddi.
