Burnet’s Holiday Drive-In was opened on June 1, 1956 and first appeared in the 1960 edition of the Motion Picture Almanac, capacity 300, owner Tommy White.
The August 16, 1961 issue of Motion Picture Exhibitor reported, “Bill Rau, who operates the Alamo Booking Service, is the new owner of the Holiday Drive-In and the Texas, indoor house, at Burnet, Tex., which he has acquired from Tommie J. White.”
A drive-in just west of Burnet on Texas Highway 29 was visible in a 1966 aerial photo. By 1983, the Holiday Drive-In had been razed. A motel occupies the site today.
