(Versailles, IN) – The Ripley County Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a ribbon cutting at the Bel-Acre Drive-In located in Versailles.

The place formerly known as the Bel-Air Drive-In will continue the 70-plus-year tradition of showing outdoor movies.

The drive-in on 23-plus acres along U.S. 421 was sold in November 2025 after being on the market for nearly two years.

Bel-Acre features two movies most Wednesday through Sunday nights.

Owners Brianna Fowler and Jesse Denison say they’re looking forward to many upcoming additions in 2026 and beyond, including ongoing expansion of a campground, arcade, playground, and more.
