About Family Drive-In Theatre

The Family Drive-In Theatre is a historic twin-screen outdoor cinema located at 5890 Valley Pike, Stephens City, VA 22655. Known for family-friendly events like Civil War film nights, Halloween costume parties, Trunk-or-Treat, and car shows, this venue offers a classic drive-in experience with modern conveniences. While the 2025 season saw a pause and the land entering the market, investors announced plans to reopen in spring 2026, bringing back a staple of local entertainment. Accessibility is car-first: simply drive in, tune your radio to the on-site FM audio, or use the speakers on poles at each parking spot. The site also features a playground and concession stand for family-friendly fun. Whether you’re a local or passing through Winchester’s metro area, here’s what you should know to plan a visit, secure your seats, and make the most of your drive-in experience.

Quick planning tips: arrive early to snag preferred parking, check the latest reopening updates from the Winchester-Frederick County CVB and local press, and consider nearby lodging as part of your trip. For lodging, we recommend partner hotels such as Hilton Garden Inn Winchester, Red Roof Inn Winchester, and Quality Inn Winchester. We’ve included official links to partner resources for convenient planning, plus quick access directions from US Route 11 / Valley Pike. When you’re ready to visit, we’ve got you covered with clear, no-fuss ticketing and travel details so you can focus on a great night at the drive-in.
