Locals flock to the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre every weekend for movies under the stars and a nostalgic experience.
The theater delivers old-school moviegoing charm, with the rumble of sound through the speaker, a vast screen, and shared anticipation with fellow movie lovers.
Rolling up to 3336 Raleigh Rd in Henderson feels like stepping into a time machine, as the theater first opened as the Moon-Glo Drive-In in 1949, making it one of North Carolina’s oldest continuously operating drive-ins.
The entrance tells a story, with weathered signage that refuses to fade into history, where generations of families have parked, waiting for the sun to set.
It’s a nostalgic escape that feels both classic and incredibly refreshing.
