The Stone Drive -In Theatre is proud to announce its 60th anniversary celebration, marking six decades of bringing family and friends together under the stars.
On Saturday, August 30th, the Stone Drive-In will celebrate this milestone with a special screening of the classic thriller JAWS, presented in recognition of its own 50th anniversary. Adding to the excitement, stations from ArkansasRadio.com will be broadcasting live from the drive-in, hosting giveaways and joining the community in celebrating this landmark occasion.
The Stone Drive-In was built by “Shorty” Thompson in 1964 and has stayed in the family ever since. It was run for many years by his son Bobby, and today it continues under the care of his children, keeping the tradition alive for future generations. For the Thompson family, the Drive-In has always been more than a business, it’s a part of who they are.
