The summer drive-in movie was so popular, we decided to do it again! Join us at the JCC Aquatics Center parking lot for an outdoor screening of Crossing Delancey, a 1988 American rom-com nominated for Golden Globe awards. A food truck will be on site for dinner, so call the babysitter, grab a blanket, and join in on the fun. The drive-in will take place on Saturday, November 7, at 7 PM.

Reserve your ticket by emailing info@jcc-asheville.org

Refreshments will be available for this Saturday’s drive-in movie!
Pre-order your snacks and pick them up as you arrive. Available for sale are bottles of water, pretzels, potato chips, Pirate Booty, and ice cream bars. Each item is one dollar. Email your order to tami@jcc-asheville.org by this Thursday, November 5, at 2 PM.
