Moonlite Drive-In

Moonlite Drive-In is an outdoor cinema in Washington County where viewers watch films on a large screen from their vehicles. The audio is transmitted through an FM radio frequency that listeners receive using their car radio or portable devices.

The drive-in was built in the mid-20th century and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, highlighting its importance to American cinema history. It represents an era when car-based theaters were a major form of entertainment.

The drive-in keeps alive the tradition of watching movies together as a community, where families and groups gather for a shared outdoor entertainment experience. Visitors often find this social aspect as important as the films themselves.

Arrive early to choose a good spot and tune your device to the FM frequency before the film starts. It helps to bring a fully charged battery or portable power if using a handheld device for audio.

The drive-in still uses its original screen structure from when it opened and shows both contemporary blockbusters and classic films from earlier decades. This approach blends cinema history with current film releases.
