South Drive-in

The South Drive-In Theater and Flea Market is located on the south side of Columbus, Ohio. It has been a staple in the community since the 1970s, known for hosting the largest outdoor yard sale and garage sale in the area. The venue operates seasonally, with the 2025 season opening on March 1st and 2nd, and continuing on weekends until the end of the season. The flea market is open Saturday and Sunday from 5 AM to 1 PM, with additional hours on Wednesdays starting in April. While the drive-in aspect is not detailed in the content, the focus is primarily on the flea market, which features over 200 vendors selling a wide range of items including clothing, electronics, tools, and housewares. The parking is available on gravel and grass surfaces, accommodating hundreds of cars. Visitors can enjoy a variety of food options at the concession stand, including breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and outdoor grilled items like brats and Polish sausages, along with French fries and bottled drinks. The admission prices are structured to be affordable, with carload pricing available. The venue has a strict policy against outside food and alcohol, ensuring that all food is purchased on-site. Pets are not allowed, and restrooms are available for visitors. The owner, Rainbow Venues & Concessions, LLC, has been operating the flea market since 2018, continuing a long tradition of community engagement and commerce.
