SHELTER IN PLACE UPDATE / Although Contra Costa County has banned drive-in movies until January 4, 2021 it appears that the Solano Drive-in is still operating as of 12/23/20 and there doesn’t appear to be any curfew enforced.

Santa Clara County has made no statement either way and doesn’t appear to ban drive-ins so it looks like Capitol Drive-In in San Jose is still open. Please contact the venues to confirm.

One of the most socially-distant ways to have fun, The West Wind Drive-In theaters in both San Jose and Concord, have reopened for nightly film screenings, but with new rules in place to ensure minimal contact.
