Drive-ins evoke a distinct sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to simpler times when the glow of a movie screen illuminated the night sky and the rumble of a car engine mingled with the laughter of families gathered together. These iconic venues, where patrons parked their vehicles under the stars, enjoyed the freedom of outdoor cinema, and savored popcorn and soda from the comfort of their own cars, hold a special place in the hearts of many. With their retro charm and the shared experience of watching beloved films in a communal setting, drive-ins have become symbols of Americana, embodying a time when the magic of cinema was intimately tied to the allure of the open road.

Drive-ins experienced a revival during the Covid 19 pandemic as a way for audiences to come back to the movies, with many in the U.S showcasing retro classics, special events and more with a large amount dating back to the 1950s. As these are seasonal, please check back in the lead up to the US Summer for more info. Many of the venues operate as winter markets and swap meet venues also.
