HD picture and sound since 2012!  We’re in our 76th year of continuous outdoor movies under the stars!

Affordable entertainment for the whole family!  Why pay a babysitter?  Bring the entire family out for an inexpensive, fun filled evening!

Please consider supporting our snack bar, instead of bringing in outside food & beverage! We understand we may not have what you want and hope you will still buy some popcorn or drinks from us. Remember theaters survive on the concession sales, not the ticket sales. We do not want to charge for outside food and beverage, but may be forced to do so at some point.

Current Movie Schedule: FRI, APRIL 3-SUN, APRIL 5 ONLY!

Screen 1: 91.9 FM | Screen 2: 96.7 FM
