About Riverside Drive-In

The Riverside Drive-In has served Vandergrift and Armstrong County since 1951, making it one of western Pennsylvania's long-standing outdoor cinema institutions. The 250-car, single-screen theater offers online ticket sales through its website, a convenient feature for a drive-in with its historic roots. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 6–11, and free for children 5 and under. Sound is broadcast via FM radio at a frequency provided at the gate. The theater operates seasonally and its intimate capacity of just 250 cars gives it a more personal, community feel compared to larger multi-screen operations. The Riverside's scenic location near the Kiskiminetas River valley adds to the appeal for western Pennsylvania families seeking a genuine outdoor movie experience.
