About Sunset Drive-In

One of Missouri's longest-running drive-ins, the Sunset Drive-In has been entertaining southwest Missouri families since it opened in 1951 on East Church Street in Aurora. The single-screen theater delivers the classic outdoor movie experience that has kept it going for over seven decades. With the Ozarks foothills as a backdrop, the Sunset remains a beloved Lawrence County tradition.
