Opened on June 29, 1961, the 5 Mile Drive-In, accommodated 432 cars. It is immaculately maintained and one of the few that still has a playground for the children. Local vicinity broadcasts have replaced the traditional speakers on both AM and FM frequencies.
Now with a capacity for 500-cars, it is open seasonally on Friday, Saturday and Sunday featuring a double bill from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. Admission is $14.00 per carload.

Motion Picture Exhibitor, June 14, 1961: “DOWEGIAC (sic), MICH.—Three individuals who have never had anything to do with show business take the plunge June 29 when they open the Five Mile North Drive-In Theatre, complete with fireworks. The title of the new project is Sisters Lake Enterprise. President is Donald G. White of Sisters Lake, who operates bowling alleys. Vice-president is Professor James Dincolo, who instructs at Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind., and who lives there. Secretary-treasurer is George S. Keller, who is an attorney and dwells in Niles, Mich. West Engineering Co. of Flint, Mich., built the 432-car site. All equipment is being furnished by the Detroit branch of National Theatre Supply.”
