Madera Drive-In

The Madera Drive-In is a Central Valley classic that has been screening films since 1948, making it one of California's oldest surviving drive-in theaters. Located on East Lincoln Avenue in Madera, the twin-screen theater is a beloved institution for families throughout Fresno, Madera, and the surrounding agricultural heartland. Each screen has its own FM frequency — tune to 103.5 FM for Screen 1 and 102.5 FM for Screen 2 — so you choose your film and dial right in. General admission is $12 for adults and $5 for children, with cash accepted only. Gates open and shows begin at 7:30 PM nightly, Wednesday through Sunday. A snack bar serves popcorn, drinks, and classic concession fare. With its double features, deep community roots, and over 75 years of history, the Madera Drive-In remains one of the San Joaquin Valley's most treasured outdoor entertainment destinations.
