Cherry Bowl Drive In Theater in Honor
The Cherry Bowl has delivered an authentic drive-in experience since 1953. A double feature starts at sundown seven nights a week; this throwback is the real deal (or reel deal, if you prefer), and their new digital projection system will carry this staple of Northern Michigania through the 21st century. Check out what’s screening at CherryBowlDriveIn.com.
