On this date, June 6, 1933, the very first drive-in movie theater opened back in Camden, New Jersey. Patrons paid 25 cents per car as well as per person to see the British comedy Wives Beware under the stars and a new phenomenon was born!

Just a few hundred of these outdoor theaters still remain here in 2024, but it’s a real treat, if you’ve never been. If you have... you already know!

In fact, The Nite Owl Drive-In is Downtown Miami’s first and only drive-in theater and it’s as retro as it gets, with the audio playing through your car’s radio and new releases on their big screen! Tickets must be purchased in advance. You can do so at their website HERE.

Fun fact: Some say rainy nights are even better for drive-in movies, because the rain creates a “slicker” surface that shows the film projection even better than it would on a clear night!
