Waay-31s alexis scott is live tonight at midcity.

She spoke with movie goers who say tonight was a breath of fresh air.

Alexis... a lot of people told me just being out..

Even if it was in the car with the windows rolled down... felt good.

They told me they're happy different businesses are thinking of creative ways for people to have fun.

Alena britt, came to drive-in "it's really nice especially being stuck at home lately a lot and this is actual a date i've wanted to go on with for a while," saturday was a long-awaited date night for alena britt.

She says a drive-in screening of "wonder woman"... ...was the perfect event to come to this weekend.

Midcity wanted to do something geared towards all age groups and wanted something you could enjoy while keeping socially distant.

Midcity employees knows summer events are something people have been waiting months to enjoy.

Lindsey patillo-keane, midcity "we wanted to bring that back immediately in the most safe, and family friendly way possible, so here we are and it's already becoming a success," there were nearly 300 people in attendance.

Midcity says just about everyone stayed in their cars and those who sat outside kept a safe distance away from other groups.

They announced the event on monday... and by saturday evening they reached capacity... but not without the help of the community.

Lindsey patillo-keane, midcity "it's totally about partnerships.

It really is critical that we all team up on stuff like this and that's what we've done here tonight," several people told me they're happy they could get out the house... and say as the state slowly opens back up.... they can't wait to see what other events are happening for memorial day weekend and throughout the summer.

Alena britt, came to drive-in "go out on a cute date, not be stuck at home, have a nice little change from netflix," now here at midcity... they're already planning more movie dates for you.

They say to check their facebook for more details soon to come.
