Live Music Offerings

VMF at the Drive-In

It was a new concert experience in your own car, at a custom Drive-In with a HUGE elevated stage, light show, multi-media entertainment, LED screens and great sound from your own stereo system via FM radio. The fabulous combination will ensure a good viewing experience for everyone all in a beautifully run, socially-distanced, audience-safe environment.
VMF was honored to partner with **CBF Productions**.
