About Jericho Drive-in
Now in its 58th season, this was the fourth outdoor picture show to be built by and originally operated in New York by Morris & Raphael Klein (and is one of 2 that they built which remain in operation; the other being the Hiway Drive-in). The BIG screen at the Jericho was first lit back on Friday, June 14th, 1957. And being that they had selected Flag Day for their Grand Opening, the Klein brothers booked an appropriate Korean War melodrama to open with as the main feature on a double-bill (Battle Hymn ? featuring Rock Hudson in the lead role, based on the true-to-Life story of Dean Hess, the celebrated Fighting Padre and Defender of the Faith, a Clergyman famed for becoming a fighter pilot). Flash forward: fifty-eight years later .. the Jericho is still lighting the screen with a double-feature, seasonally, April thru October; on Weekends only early & late in the season; and 7 nites during the peak Summer season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day; and has a capacity for more than 400 cars. Movie audio is provided with a localized radio broadcast (98.9 FM); and for vintage pre-FM vehicles: 530 AM. Admission: $9 for Adults (ages 12&up); $5 for Children (ages 3-11); Kids aged 2 and under admitted free. Major credit cards are accepted ($10 minimum).
