A closed drive-in theatre just east of Saskatoon on Highway 5. It was notable for getting brushed by a tornado in 1996 while preparing for the evening's showing of the film "Twister".
The drive-in has been closed since about 2010. In 2016, Duffy Besenski, 91, the former owner of Sundown and four other drive-ins in the area, was in the local paper with a claim that he was going to reopen a drive-in on a different site. That is yet to happen.
The site is now used for vehicle storage.
Current condition: Still stands but is used for other purpose (full or partial remains)
Address: Highway 5 East Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada
