About Midway Drive-in
One of the oldest Drive-ins in New York State (and also one of the best maintained), the Midway was originally built by the Canter brothers - Irving & Ruben, who opened their picture show in the Summer of 1948. It has remained in continuous operation for more than 6 decades; operated by its current owner since 1987. The Drive-in has a capacity for parking 600 cars at the traditional speaker poles, plus overflow parking in open areas beyond. The 80' wide screen is usually lit with a double-feature on weeknights, and triple features on weekends. Their Season runs from late-April or early May, thru late October; sometimes into November (weather willing); on weekends in Spring & Fall, 7 nites during peak season. Audio is provided with a localized FM stereo radio broadcast (87.9 FM), and for the devoutly nostalgic, classic Drive-in speakers are still available at poles in the first six rows. Admission: $8 for Adults (ages 12&up); $3 for Children (ages 7-11); Kids age 6 and under are admitted free.
