Capital One Center to Host Drive-In Movies to Benefit Local Nonprofit

Drive-in movies are coming to Tysons outside Capital One for four weeks this summer.

While the movies are free, Capital One Center is encouraging moviegoers to make a $25 donation to Second Story, a local nonprofit that helps people seeking food, shelter and emergency support. People can also text “MOVIES” to 50155 to make a donation.

Here is the line-up:

• Saturday, July 11: “How to Train Your Dragon”
• Sunday, July 12: “Pitch Perfect”
• Saturday, July 18: “Men in Black”
• Sunday, July 19: “Grease”
• Saturday, July 25: “Shrek”
• Sunday, July 26: “A League of Their Own”
• Saturday, Aug. 1: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”
• Sunday, Aug. 2: “Footloose”

The movies will take place at the McLean Metro lot (1820 Dolley Madison Blvd) from 7-11:30 p.m.

Moviegoers are asked to register in advance due to limited space. People will be able to get food at the movies from Curbside Kitchen.
