FAQ
Questions about Birdsong Drive-In Theater, answered
How many screens does Birdsong Drive-In have?
Birdsong Drive-In has two screens. Each one shows a different film on the same night, so you choose which screen you want as you pull in and park facing it. Ask at the gate what is playing on each.
What FM frequency does Birdsong Drive-In use?
Birdsong Drive-In broadcasts its soundtrack on Screen 1: 106.7 FM, Screen 2: 96.7 FM. The audio comes through your own car stereo rather than a speaker on a post. If your car cannot run its radio with the engine off, bring a portable one.
Can I rent a radio at Birdsong Drive-In?
Birdsong Drive-In rents radios at the counter: $5 rental, non-refundable, ID held (or $35 to purchase, when in stock).

They go quickly on a busy night, so ask when you arrive rather than at the interval.
