About
Welcome to the Southington Drive-In, the only community-owned and volunteer operated facility in the state! The Southington Drive-In is not a for-profit business. Instead, all proceeds are distributed to our host civic and non-profit organizations.
To date, the Southington Drive-In Committee has distributed more than $192,000 to our host groups over eight seasons of weekly drive-in movies. In addition to weekly Saturday night movies, we also host an annual Halloween Festival on the Saturday prior to Halloween.
The Southington Drive-In is one of only three remaining outdoor venues in the state. Originally, the facility opened in 1955 as a for-profit business and featured movies for nearly half a century before closing in 2002. In 2004, Southington residents voted to purchase the property to expand nearby Recreation Park and enjoy continued outdoor activities at the nostalgic site.
