Summer is the perfect time to… see a movie? That’s the contradiction of the summer months – it’s the perfect time to be outside in the great outdoors, enjoying that amazing Iowa weather, but it’s also when the big movie studios release the most exciting movies! Fortunately, in the tiny town of Blue Grass, Iowa, they have a solution! The Blue Grass Drive-In Theater in Iowa is located in a small eastern Iowa town not far from Davenport, and it’s more than an ordinary drive-in. The unique, cube-shaped screen means that the theater can play up to four movies at the same time, much like a regular multiplex, and there are even some bonus attractions on site! It’s the perfect way to spend a summer night.

The sleepy town of Blue Grass gets busier in the summer months because everyone's headed to the Blue Grass Drive-In.
