Mississippi’s Only Drive-In Theater Is Hiding In A Small Town And You’ll Want To Visit
Iuka is home to Mississippi's only drive-in theater, offering a nostalgic and memorable movie-watching experience.
Drive-in theaters may be a thing of the past, but you can still find one here in the Magnolia State. That’s right; there’s a real drive-in hiding in a beautiful small town here. Providing a viewing experience that’s sure to be as memorable as it is nostalgic, a visit to the state’s only drive-in belongs on your bucket list. Take a look and we're sure you'll agree that streaming from home is not always the best. Going to see movies in theatres — especially at a classic drive-in one--can be just as much fun!
Iuka is located in Tishomingo County.
It’s a small town that's home to about 3,000 residents as well as the state’s only drive-in theater.
Because of its remote location, the theater could be easy to miss. Just keep your eyes peeled for the sign as you drive along W. Quitman St.
As movie theaters in Mississippi go, it’s a small, family-owned operation with only one screen, so there are only a couple of movies playing at a time.
As you pull in, you’ll quickly realize the place isn’t fancy, but that’s part of the vintage fun!
In addition to a huge screen, the grounds include a concession stand where you can get some tasty snacks.
While outside food and drinks are permitted, concession stand purchases are encouraged, as that’s the main source of funding for the theater.
It's such a great place to meet family and friends for fun and relaxing entertainment under the stars.
The drive-in is usually open three days a week and typically has two showings each night.
Tickets can be purchased at the box office and are priced at a nominal fee, making it a budget-friendly adventure for the entire family.
After purchasing your tickets, pull in and get cozy.
When searching for “movie theatres near me,” this one will certainly pop up towards the top of the list!
The Iuka Drive-In is located at 1527 W Quitman St., Iuka, MS 38852. For more information, including upcoming shows, call (662) 423-2153 or go to the Drive-in Facebook page.
