About Sunset Drive-In

The Sunset Drive-In in Waterford has been a fixture of Erie County's summer entertainment scene since 1948, making it one of the oldest continuously operating drive-ins in northwestern Pennsylvania. The 350-car, single-screen theater sits along Route 97 in the rolling countryside south of Erie, operating Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from spring through fall. Sound is delivered via FM radio. Cash is accepted at the box office. A snack bar serves concession favorites throughout the evening. The Sunset's decades of service to the Waterford community and its peaceful country setting give it a timeless quality that draws both longtime regulars and first-time drive-in visitors looking for an authentic piece of Pennsylvania outdoor cinema history.
