How We Started

Bringing Back the Fun of Outdoor Movies

Backyard Drive-In Party is your source for premium backyard movies and entertainment in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Livingston, Genesee Counties and all of Michigan.

It's also perfect for watching the big sports games, playing corporate presentations, or playing video games.

Our 15' portable outdoor movie screen is perfect for groups of up to 250 people. It sets up in no time and is ideal for backyards, fundraisers, parks, golf courses, hotels, beach clubs - pretty much anywhere!

Backyard Drive-In Party is happy to provide added value to your sponsors and clients by putting their logo or commercial on the screen. We also have a live microphone so you can thank your guests and sponsors.

Better Equipment for a Better Experience

Theater Quality Without the Distractions

The little things can make or break a movie night. That is why our 15-foot screens use sturdy aluminum frames instead of loud, inflatable blowers that compete with the movie audio. You get a 2000-watt sound system and a high-definition 1080p projector that look and sound great for groups of up to 250 people. We handle the entire technical setup from start to finish so you can focus on the snacks and your guests.

In the background, a large multi-story clubhouse building with warm interior lights is visible under a twilight sky. A tree on the left side of the frame is illuminated with bright magenta light, and several golf carts are parked nearby. The atmosphere is communal and festive.

Versatile Screens for Any Event

Built for More Than Just Movies

While we love a good film, our equipment is great for plenty of other events too. We host big gaming tournaments and massive watch parties for the Michigan versus Michigan State game. If you are running a corporate presentation where a small screen just won't work, we provide the scale you need to get your message across to a big crowd. Whether it is a neighborhood fundraiser, a school camp, or a pool party, we will tailor the setup to exactly what you need.
