Growing up, going to the movies in the Soo was one of my
favorite things to do with my friends(I still have all of my old ticket stubs,
too!). Making memories together, sharing laughs, and getting to enjoy all the
popcorn, candy, and pop we wanted—those are some memories I'll cherish forever.
Unfortunately, our area hasn't had the movies for nearly a decade, and it's
time to change that!
The Yooper Drive-In Cinema has been a dream
of mine for years, and I’m finally ready to bring it to life. I want this to be
a place where families, friends, tourists, and anyone can come to make their
own memories. We’ll offer an experience that’ll leave you wanting to come back
again and again!
We’re Doing Things Differently
We’re focused on sustainability, so our setup will include
renewable energy, compostable containers at the Snack Shack, LED screens, and
lighting, plus efforts to reduce waste. So you can feel good about enjoying a
fun night out without the environmental guilt!
Having a drive-in cinema also opens up options for all sorts
of creative and fun events! So, we'll be hosting themed events
throughout the 6-8 month season, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Murder
Mystery, Disney Classics, and so much more! These events, along with the
buzzing atmosphere, will bring the whole community together.
Here's some things we'll be offering at

LED screens accommodating up to 100 cars each
