Opened July 12, 1957 as a single screen drive-in. The opening program featured a Kartoon Karnival and 4 feature movies: Andy Griffith in “A Face in the Crowd”, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis in “Living It Up”, John Dehner in “Revolt at Fort Laramie” and Bob Hope in “The Seven Little Foys”. It was twinned in around 2002. The Dixie Twin Drive-In operates from April through November. It has a capacity for approximately 900 cars.
On September 27, 2024 Tropical Storm Helene destroyed the marquee at the entrance to the drive-in.

That doesn’t sound like a fun night at the movies. Too bad.
This was listed as the Dixie Drive-In in the early sixties. It may have been a single then. Operator was Sam Levin. Capacity was 850 cars per the 1963 motion picture almanac, but all the figures given by this book seem rounded off, so consider it an estimate.

A Dixie Drive-in in yankee land,strange.
This opened on July 12th, 1957. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
google earth pro’s newest aerial was taken when they were mainting the screen so you ccan see someone in a crane maintaining the screen.
Dixie Twin Drive-In marquee was knocked destroyed and knocked down today 9/27/2024 during a major storm. Picture added.
The marquee got destroyed by Tropical Storm Helene. Are the screens still standing? If they are, then how is the drive-in going to operate without its marquee?
The drive in is open without the marquee. A portable road sign, like the arrow kind is being rented to used for the the this next few weeks until the end of season in late October2024.
Is there going to be a chance that the marquee will ever get rebuilt?
