Sounds like the TV show Happy Days, with my faves Richie Cunningham, Potsie Weber and ‘The Fonz.”
A 1950’s drive-in diner with carhop roller skate servers, live music and an outdoor night market, will be open for business on September 24 to 26 at 37 Advance Rd., Unit 105, near the Kipling Station.
In what is called “Toronto’s one and only drive-in experience,” the Dusty Star Diner is an immersive experience and a nostalgic recreation of a 1950’s drive-in diner with servers on roller skates, which was a norm back 70 or so years ago.
There will be a live 1950’s rockabilly band, “The Ichi-Ibons” and era style tunes when the band is not performing.
Canada’s Number 1 Food Truck will also be there. Fidel Gastro’s street food company serves tasty diner-style fusion fast food and has been featured on several television shows.
There will be a market with various vendors ranging from vintage clothes, jewelry to amazing hot sauce. Check out their unique offerings and support local artisans, craftsman and small businesses.
The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. From 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.
It costs $28 per car, which reserves a car spot, with two people minimum. You can have as many people in vehicle as are seats/legally allowed.
It will be $28 for a picnic table, which reserves your table. Six people per table maximum.
And $8 for a walk-in only ticket. COVID-19 rules followed.
