In The Beginning....
The Redwood Drive-In Theatre was built in the late 1950's as a single screen drive-in. In the mid-1970's, two additional screens and a new snack bar were added. In 1983, the Redwood was further expanded to six screens
Thirty years ago, the Redwood Drive-In was one of many drive-in theatres located in the Salt Lake Valley; however, the Redwood is now the only remaining drive-in theatre in the area.
The Redwood Drive-In also doubles as a swap meet every Saturday and Sunday. The Redwood Drive-In Theatre operates seasonally from March through November; however, the Redwood Swap Meet operates year-round.

The Redwood Swap Meet....
The Redwood Swap Meet first opened in the late 1970's. The swap meet was originally located at the Ute Drive-In Theatre at 7800 South and State Street but was moved to the Redwood Drive-In when the Ute was closed. The Ute Swap Meet was started by Mark Modine, who was the manager of the Ute Drive-In. After the swap meet moved, Mark transferred to the South Bay Drive-In located in San Diego where he started another very successful swap meet.
The Redwood Swap Meet continues to grow due to our committement to provide a high level of services to our buyers and sellers.
