About Parma Motor Vu Drive-In
Parma Motor Vu Drive-In is a storied outdoor cinema in Parma, Idaho. Established in 1953 by Bill Dobbs and now run by his daughter, Karen Cornwell, the venue offers a nostalgic, family-friendly moviegoing experience under the Idaho sky. The theater features a single screen and historically hosted local cruise nights and community events. After a digital upgrade in 2013, the venue remains a beloved part of Parma’s entertainment landscape. While currently closed for the 2025 season, Parma Motor Vu Drive-In plans a spring 2026 reopening.
