Once a common destination for date nights, family outings, and groups of friends, the drive-in movie theater has nearly become a thing of the past. Luckily, Washington still has a few, and if you grew up watching flicks from the back of your car, they’ll conjure up the nostalgia like nothing else. The next time you’re on Whidbey Island, catch a film at Blue Fox Drive-In Theater and you’ll see what we mean.

The Blue Fox Drive-in Theater is located in Oak Harbor on the beautiful Whidbey Island, where it has been for the last 60 years.
