Join your neighbours at the park and enjoy eats and treats at 7pm, with the movie starting at sundown, ±9pm. Nestled between the Distillery and the Don, you get an unbeatable view of Toronto’s skyline. Bring a picnic blanket, folding chair, meditation cushion.... whatever you need to be comfortable hanging out with hundreds of neighbours on a big green lawn.
From the TOPS website: "Do you feel a need for Speed on the big TOPS screen? Undoubtedly made with drive-in theatres in mind, this adrenaline-fuelled 90s masterpiece is peak outdoor cinema programming. The film that made a superstar of Sandra Bullock – joining marquee names Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper – as a Los Angeles city bus commuter who is forced into the driver’s seat by a disgruntled bomber who rigged the bus to explode if its speed drops below 50 mph. With Bullock behind the wheel, heartthrob action hero Reeves has to outwit the madman – and keep the road clear for the speeding vehicle – before time runs out to save everyone on board."
Screenings are open to anyone who would like to attend, with no barriers to entry. TOPS is always free to all, and charitable donations make this possible.
