Drive-in theatres are the epitome of nostalgia, and there’s only one remaining in Arizona. Located in Glendale, West Wind doubles as an open-air flea market and makes for a wholesome family outing.
With six locations in three different states, West Wind is proud to be the largest drive-in theatre chain in the world. The business has been family-owned since day one, combining the most innovative digital projection technology with plenty of good ol’ fashioned nostalgia.

The setup might be old-fashioned, but the movies certainly aren’t! Expect to see first-run films screened at the same time as indoor theatres (there are even midnight showings and early releases!).

Five of the franchises, including ours right here in Glendale, are also home to an open-air flea market. It operates Friday thru Sunday, with vendors selling local produce, eccentric knickknacks, fashionable clothing, and home decor. Consider it your one-stop shop for unique finds at a great price.

Whether you’re waiting for the movie to start or need to cool off after walking around the swap meet, head inside to play some arcade games. Regardless of age, everyone can find their inner child here.

Grab some snacks to enjoy during the film or munch on as you peruse the market stalls. With Orville Redenbacher popcorn, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, and even fresh-baked pizza at select locations, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a higher quality concession stand.

Even if your movie starts after dark, arriving before sunset means a free car show! There are plenty of classic wheels to see on any given night, so get ready for a blast from the past!
