Drive-in movie theatres are a thing of the past. In Vancouver there used to be Langley’s Twilight Drive-In. Other places also host outdoor movies in the summer.
The Twilight Drive-In in Langley closed in 2024. In the past there have also been pop-up drive-in theatres, including at Lansdowne Mall in Richmond and the River District in Vancouver. They still happen occasionally, but not so often.
