Where Is the Disney Plus Drive In Festival?
The festival will take place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
A quick note: Hangar and hanger are two different things. So, if you’re looking for the “Barker Hanger” on your GPS, it might not come up! 😉
A little bit about the area:
Santa Monica is a part of Los Angeles, California, right on the coast. If you’ve never been, you should make a trip at some point. It’s truly one of my favorite places in all of LA.
Here is the address and map for the Barker Hangar:
The Barker Hangar 3021 Airport Ave
