Stanford Drive-in
About Stanford Drive-inThe Stanford Drive-in is a single screen drive-in theater located in Stanford, Kentucky which is about an hour drive south of Lexington, Kentucky. The second smallest of Kentucky's drive-ins with a car capacity of 160 cars, the Standford has been there since 1952. In 1996 a tornado took the screen apart but they re-opened just three months later with a new 50' screen in place. We expect the Standford Drive-in to be around awhile as they had a successful fundraising in 2015
