Halifax is without a cinema but this year's July Project will bring the big screen back to the town for one special night.
The finale of Calderdale's biggest festival for children and young people will give film lovers the chance to watch Grease at a 1950s-style drive-in.
And the fortnight of events, sponsored by the Halifax, is sure to go out with a bang when the drive-in at Eureka on Saturday July 12 is followed by a huge firework display.
The grand finale free weekend at the museum will also feature daytime events, including toboganning on 20 tons of real snow and games on the sandy beach.
The July Project 2008, in its second year, is organised by Square Chapel Centre for the Arts, Eureka and Calderdale Council.
Between July 1 and July 13, more than 100 music, art, drama, dance and sports events will be held across the borough.
This year's festival is set to be bigger with more than 8,000 youngsters getting involved.
Festivities kick off with children's author Anne Fine, best known for Madame Doubtfire, which was turned into a Hollywood hit starring Robin Williams, visiting Square Chapel.
Other highlights include sports training sessions, a talk with Liverpool poet Roger McGough; and competitions where singers, bands and musicians can win recording time in a studio.
