Constructed 1948.
The Fiesta Drive-In originally opened in 1948 with a single screen. The massive original screen tower had a mural of a Mexican man and woman dancing and was animated with neon lighting. Above them was the theater’s name in streamlined style lettering. The Fiesta Drive-In closed in 1970 but was completely rebuilt in 1989 as a three screen drive-in with capacity for 600 cars, FM stereo sound and a modern concession stand.
