The Port Elmsley Drive-In theatre is a drive-in theatre located near Port Elmsley, between Perth and Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada. [1]
The drive-in was originally built on ten acres (4.0 ha) of swamp land, supposedly won in a poker game. [2] [3] Construction finished in 1953, after having trucked in tens of thousands of tonnes of gravel, to level the ground. [4] Financial troubles arose in 2018, and the cinema was planning on closing, however, the COVID-19 pandemic boosted its sales and allowed it to stay open. [5]
