Tips if you plan to go:
Parking
Parking lot opens at 7 p.m. and movies begin promptly at 8:30 p.m. Parking lot access will close at 8:15 p.m. so Wolf Trap encourages early arrival.
All attendees must arrive in an enclosed motor vehicle and must park in a designated space as directed by event personnel. No walk-ins or bikes will be allowed entry.
Once parked, you must remain in your vehicle or in your vehicle’s designated picnic space, unless going to or from the restrooms.
If you want to park next to a friend, you're asked to please coordinate your arrival at the park at the same time to have the best chance of parking next to each other.
Oversized vehicles will be directed to the back rows.
Drivers are asked to please turn off all headlights when in the parking lot.
