The WesMer Drive In is the only drive-in theater in San Antonio. It’s located deep within the Rio Grande Valley. Servicing the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metroplex and all other areas nearby, the WesMer Drive-In shows a pairing of two new films each week, rain or shine.
Note: The WesMer Drive-In Theater has been temporarily cardiff school closed effective 07/26. This is due to restrictions in the area. From the Rio Grande Valley to the Panhandle, and everything in between, Drive-In Theaters have been a key element of Texas’ film landscape since 1934 when Galveston opened the third American drive-in theater and the first in Texas. Texas had more drive-ins in Texas than any other state at the peak of their popularity.
The cinematic experience of today is very different from that of 1934. Multiplexes and streaming have revolutionized the way we view movies. But the drive-in theatres that have remained have stood the test, and are better than ever. Take a seat in your car and join us on a tour to Texas’ top drive-in theatres. We will be taking you from the classics to the new.

Dr. Bellino (34), is currently in Uganda on a project. She said that she saw the smiling face of a 12-year old Haitian boy named Mystil JeanWesmer, who eventually comforted her after she burst into tears. She recalled it with a gentle smile. Mystil, realizing she was overwhelmed by the needs at the field hospital run by Americans, said, “Go take care the sicker children.” I’ll be O.K.
