Experience A Drive-In Theatre Near You!

Experience A Drive In Theatre Near You!

The magic of the Drive In theatres can still be experienced today.

There are more than 400 Drive In theatres across the United States still in operation, newly built or reopened. The first Drive In opened back in 1933 and grew by 1948 to a total of 820.

The 1950's saw the biggest increase and by 1958 there was a whopping 5,000 Drive In theatres with some large enough to accommodate up to 3,000 cars or more. Attendance started to drop in the 1960's and by the 1980's the number of Drive In theatres still open for business had dwindled down to less that 1,000.

The summer of 2005 has seen 2 newly opened Drive In theatres in my area of Illinois. The old Galesburg Drive In theatre

 


that had been closed for years just re-opened and is now called the Blue Moonlight Drive In and the newly built Galva Autovue Theatre is open for business.

If you have never been to a Drive In theatre, I encourage you to pack up the kids and go. Most Drive Ins have a playground area so go early and then sit back and watch the show in the convenience of your car.

Please, support your local Drive In theatre and relive the past!
