Erwin's Comet Drive-In Theatre & Flea Market is located in Connellsville (Dunbar) Pennsylvania and has two screens showing first run double features during fair weather months. The flea market is open Sundays at 5am.
The Comet Drive-In opened in 1950 and operated as a one screen drive-in for 37 years. The Drive-In was then closed in 1987 with just the Sunday morning flea market operating. After the Drive-In was closed for 6 years, Brian J. Erwin purchased the existing property in the spring of 1994 with the sole intention of re-opening the Drive-In. The first movies were “Beethoven’s 2nd” and “Jurassic Park”, which was shown on a star filled Friday night in May of 1994 on the original screen tower which was sandblasted and newly painted. The customers loved having a Drive-In back in town to be able to come out for a night of movies with their families. In 1995, the second screen was erected, and both screens have remained showing movies 7 days a week. Drive-In nights run from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The Drive-in operates on FM stereo for sound.
