About Hwy 21 Drive-In Theatre

Hwy 21 Drive-In Theatre has been a Beaufort Lowcountry institution since 1978, operating two screens year-round from its 500-car lot on Parker Drive. The theater runs Thursday through Sunday in the off-season and expands to seven nights a week during the warm months, making it one of South Carolina's most accessible drive-in experiences. Children 4 and under are always free, and movie sound is delivered directly to your car's FM radio.
