About

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.
