About Cumberland Drive-In Theatre

Welcome to Cumberland Drive-In Theatre, a historic outdoor movie venue celebrating its 74th season in 2026. Since opening in 1952, this car-based cinema has provided a unique, family-friendly way to enjoy films under the stars. Located at 3290 Ritner Hwy, Newville, PA 17241 (GPS: 715 Centerville Rd), the drive-in serves the Chambersburg/Hagerstown region with digital projection since circa 2013 and a layout designed for vehicle viewing rather than traditional seating.

With a capacity of 400 vehicles and about 125 spaces that can be reserved, Cumberland Drive-In Theatre offers a relaxed, no-fruss experience where you secure your preferred spot, arrive with your crew, and enjoy the show from the comfort of your car. Parking follows a simple system: spaces are arranged in rows around the screen with a 5 mph speed limit for safety. While there is no public seating chart, the viewing experience is tailored to your vehicle, making it easy to center your attention on the film and the big screen.

If you’re traveling from Carlisle or the surrounding towns, you’ll find nearby lodging and dining options to pair with your movie night. We’ve highlighted dependable hotels and nearby restaurants that consistently cater to travelers and movie-goers alike. As your local connection, we’re here to help you secure your seats for the next show with straightforward, friendly service.

Transportation to Cumberland Drive-In Theatre is straightforward but varies by traveler. The nearest public transit is Capital Area Transit Route C in Carlisle, with no direct service to Newville, so planning a car trip or rideshare is recommended. If you’re staying nearby, you can rely on comfortable lodging options like Country Inn & Suites Carlisle or Sleep Inn Carlisle, both within a reasonable drive to the venue. For meals before or after the movie, consider recommended local eateries and chains in the Carlisle area. If you’re planning a multi-visit schedule, remember each date is treated independently on this page. We’ll keep you updated on any rescheduled dates (RESCHEDULED from its original date) or Date to be announced announcements as they come. For performers and events, we include official social media and websites with links for the latest information: follow the venue’s updates and the film studios for the most current showings and schedules.
