Drive-In Movies Return to Sundstrand Park in Belvidere All Summer

There were a few things we started doing again because the pandemic and I'm glad they will still be around, this summer. This is one of them.

Our love of drive-in movie theaters returned in a big way during the covid pandemic. We're so lucky to have some options in the Rockford area for watching movies outside with our favorite peoiple.
