WILL THE DRIVE-IN THEATER COME BACK?

99W Drive-in

The 99W Drive-in movie theater (above) is a single screen outdoor movie
venue in Newberg, Oregon that has been in operation since it originally
opened back in the year 1953. Double features of first-run films are shown
at the drive-in on a season basis only during the weekends.

Throughout the years, more than fifty drive-in movie theaters have existed
in Oregon. Yet, today, only four are operating in the state and the 99W is
one of them.
