Alabama Drive-Ins
Alabama has seven open drive-in theaters with 15 screens, spread from the Tennessee Valley down to the Wiregrass region. The state's oldest, King Drive-In in Russellville, has been running since 1949.
View All Drive-InsThe largest operation is VIP Star-Lite near Dothan, with four screens named Skyview, Dixieland, Starlight, and Goober, holding about 800 cars. Grand River Drive-In in Leeds, about 20 minutes east of Birmingham, also has four screens and doubles as an entertainment complex with mini-golf, a dog park, and a full bar. Two-screen locations include the 411 Twin in Centre, which pairs its double features with an on-site grill, and Blue Moon on US Highway 43 between Guin and Winfield, a fixture since 1956.
Several Alabama drive-ins stay open year-round, including 411 Twin, Grand River, VIP Star-Lite, and WarHouse in Demopolis. King runs from March through December. The newest addition is Ridgeview Drive-In Theatre in Henagar, which opened in 2022 on the site of the former Henagar Drive-In. All theaters broadcast sound over FM radio.
