The Team Behind the Screen

Family-owned & operated since 2020

In 2020, amidst a world shut down and after countless times driving by and wondering “what if?”, we (Dan & Gina Beckley) bought the Van Buren Drive-in in Dunkirk, NY, with a dream to make the magical experience of the drive-in available again for our friends, neighbors, and community.

The site had been shut down for more than 30 years, and it showed!

So we undertook a massive effort to clear, clean, and rebuild it into an environment where people would feel free to have all sorts of fun.

Running this place has been a labor of love.

We appreciate all the immense support shown by our community members in the last few years.

And as we continue to improve our offerings and invest in creating awareness around this unique American experience, we look forward to connecting with even more of our neighbors, visitors, and drive-in aficionados from all over.

Making amazing memories with loved ones is what this endeavor is all about.

So please come out and enjoy yourself – and then let us know about it!

We take pride in being there ourselves and interacting with all our guests personally so that everyone feels connected and cared for, and truly has a movie night to remember.
