About Port Elmsley Drive-In

Port Elmsley Drive-In is a beloved single-screen walk-back-in-time venue located at 333 Port Elmsley Rd, Perth, Ontario. With a capacity of approximately 350 cars, this seasonal drive-in offers a nostalgic movie-going experience where audio is broadcast directly to your vehicle via FM radio. Guests park by color-post rules, enjoy the driving lane as the main walkway, and can bring lawn chairs to sit in front of their vehicles during the show. Each admission typically covers two or more movies in a single visit, making it a great value for families and groups. The site has a long history dating to 1953, with a modern resurgence and ongoing events, including a notable 70th anniversary season in 2023. Below you'll find practical details to plan your visit, including seating, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining options.

Port Elmsley Drive-In operates seasonally, with notices about off-season status on the venue pages. When planning a trip, check the current schedule and any special events.
