About Port Hope Drive-In

Port Hope Drive-In, historically Canada’s oldest drive-in, has a storied place in Ontario cinema history. Located at 2141 Theatre Rd S, Cobourg, Ontario K9A 4J7, the site has operated as a drive-in theater since 1947. After closing in 2023 and undergoing rebranding, the site is planned to reopen as the Midway Drive-In Theatre in Spring 2026. The drive-in format means vehicles are parked on-site and guests enjoy a screen experience from their own cars. Capacity for driving-in events is typically up to 400 vehicle spots per night, with the experience centered on a car-friendly layout rather than fixed seating. This page provides practical details to help you plan a visit, from parking and transit to nearby lodging and dining. We’ve got you covered with insider tips, venue info, and trusted partner recommendations to streamline your ticket and visit planning.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Canada’s drive-in heritage or exploring options for a family night under the stars, the Midway Drive-In site offers a classic cinema experience adapted for today. Keep an eye on official announcements for the Spring 2026 reopening and any event-specific details. For now, you can explore nearby hotels in Port Hope and Cobourg, plus nearby restaurants to fuel your visit. When you’re ready to secure your seats, we’ll help you navigate availability, show times, and the best spots for catching the screen from the comfort of your vehicle.
