About Midway Drive-In Theatre
Midway Drive-In Theatre has been a family-owned Oswego County institution since 1948, operated continuously by the same family who founded it — a remarkable legacy of drive-in stewardship spanning nearly 80 years. Situated on State Route 48 in the small village of Minetto just south of Oswego, the single-screen theater fits 600 cars and delivers one of the best value propositions in upstate New York: adult admission is just $9, children 7–11 are $3, and weekend evenings feature triple features — three movies for the price of one. Sound broadcasts in stereo on 87.9 FM. The drive-in runs late April through late October, going seven nights a week in peak summer and weekends only in the shoulder seasons, sometimes pushing into November if the weather cooperates. For Oswego County residents and Central New York visitors, Midway is a genuine treasure that has outlasted countless other drive-ins by staying true to its roots.
