About South Drive-In
The South Drive-In is Columbus's last standing drive-in theater, an institution on South High Street that has been entertaining Central Ohio families since the mid-20th century. Two screens broadcast separate first-run double features on dedicated FM frequencies — 91.9 and 96.7 — so you choose your movie and tune in. The weekend flea market runs Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays from 5am–1pm, making it a full-day destination. The theater opens mid-March to early April each year, making it one of Ohio's earliest openers.
