Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In Theatre with additional information or photos.

Founded in 1954, the Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In Theater still shows films under the stars. Pull up in a parking spot, order popcorn and treats, then settle back and enjoy the show. To hear the soundtrack, simply turn on your car radio. (Or alternatively, mobile radios can be checked out at the snack shack) Open seasonally through the summer into early fall, the movie theater strives to maintain its retro charm, while screening everything from classic movies to current releases on its two screens.

Know Before You Go

If you're not positive your car battery will survive for the duration of the show, be sure to bring a backup, battery-powered radio.
