Come and re-live the Old Time Drive-In Movie experience at Uptown Station’s Central Park!
Every two weeks, through the summer, we show movies on Saturday night in Central Park. Usually we also show at least one movie per month during the winter too!
We have the Emerald Coast’s only giant 30′ inflatable movie screen, which we put up in front of the Flag Pole in Central Park. We have a great sound system, and in some movies you can feel the ground vibrate!
Folks bring their lawn chairs and blankets and spread out on the grass at Central Park to enjoy a wide range of family friendly movies. You can also sit in your car and listen to the soundtrack on FM 106.9.
There are always concession stands with drink and snacks, just as you’d expect. Plus of course, we have all the dining experiences at Uptown Station. Wine World Outlet open late on Movie Night and have a special selection for movie audiences, with cheeses snacks and non-glass containers.
Details of the upcoming movies are published on this website, in Upcoming Events, and the Events Calendar. You can also join us on Facebook and Twitter so you’ll get updates and reminders. Check the calendar and Movie Nights info for details of show times, movie trailers and synopsis of the movies.
We’re always open to suggestions for what movies to show, so please send us your suggestions.
Most importantly, Movie Nights at Uptown Station are FREE!
In some cases of bad weather, we have to cancel the movie but we post updates on this site and we send out information on Facebook and Twitter.
The only things we don’t have at Movie Night are pets and glass containers, so please help us with that.
If you’d like to rent Central Park and the movie screen for your own showing, or are interested in renting the screen, projectors and crew for your own showing away from Uptown Station, contact us at marketing@uptownstation.com or call 850 654 4126 X116.

How about Sound of Music, Grease, ET, Wall-E, Star Wars, or The Little Rascals.

The Little Rascals and ET would be great a flash back for the older people and give the kids a chance to see some really good movies from the past. By the way “Hi” Tatiana.

When and what day or night and what time will you be showing Grease,sound of music,little rascals?
#5 by uptown - June 8th, 2009 at 14:52
We’ll put those on the list of movies you’d like to see, and if we get votes for them, we’ll either fit them into the schedule or show them at People’s Choice night in December.
Question for y’all – do you like musical movies like Grease, Sound of Music, Mama Mia! etc? Would you all come out and sing along?

Are these movie nights happening this summer (2010, and if so, are dogs (leashed) allowed to accompany their owners?
#9 by uptown - August 6th, 2010 at 18:37
Absolutely they’re happening! Tomorrow night we have ‘New Moon” – from the Twilight Saga. Starts at 8pm.
We’re sorry but dogs (not even leashed – not even OUR dogs!) are allowed in Central Park – it’s not our rule, but because the fountains are along side the park, State health rule prohibit dogs there. Sorry.
We do have Central Bark, along side J G PLaza, as a special area just for dogs though.
