Hi-Way Drive-In in Carsonville, Michigan is temporarily closed. A power surge after electrical work along M-46 damaged most of its equipment, and the projector still needs a part before it can play first-run movies again.

The owner says movies will be booked as soon as the projector is back, and no reopening date has been set. Opened in 1948, it calls itself Michigan's oldest drive-in, and the lot at the Black River Fairgrounds still hosts events such as its Trunk or Treat.

History

The history of Hi-Way Drive-In Theater

Opened in 1948, the Hi-Way Drive-In is the oldest operating drive-in in Michigan, located along M-46 in Michigan's Thumb region. The original screen was demolished in 1996; new owners bought the theater in 1999 and revived it. It has since expanded beyond movie nights to host other events, including the Woodkey festival.
