Popular Hudson Valley Drive-In Sets Season Opening Date
Spring has arrived and a popular area drive-in is ready to reopen.
Back in 2022, an article was written, questioning if Drive-In Movies are a thing of the past. During the COVID pandemic, drive-ins became popular forms of entertainment as recommendations by health officials were made about being outdoors and social distancing. As movie theaters began shutting down, the drive-ins thrived.

Lots of great memories at drive-ins over the years. I remember in my early radio days, the radio station doing a movie premiere for the new Godzilla movie at the time at an area drive-in. It was 1998, and the station had its big Rock n Roll boombox, and the event was a memorable one.
Warwick Drive-In has been owned and operated by the same family since 1977. The three-screen theater has the distinction of being the very first to open each season, usually right after St. Patrick's Day. It's located at 5 Warwick Turnpike, Warwick, NY.
