West Wind Capitol Drive-In

Oh, some tips for drive-in movies 1. First-come-first-serve. Unlike cinemas with dedicated seats, parking lots at a drive-in movie theater is on a first-come-first-serve basis. As we were the first car here, we selected a perfect spot where all we saw was just the screen while reclining our seats. 2. Tilted Parking Lots. Each lot is tilted such that with the slope and height of the movie screen, all of the cars are able to see the screen without seeing the other cars in front of them. You can choose to either watch front-facing, like us – reclining our seats all the way back or back-facing where some families would bring pillows and blankets to lie flat and watch the movie. 3. Bring Your Own Food. You can bring your own food to drive-in movie theaters or you can purchase food from the food area. We did a combination....

4/2/26 10:15p showing of The Drama did not have any projection, just audio. You need to refund us for this or rewind the movie. This is awful. Other theaters are experiencing the same thing.

Such a cute drive in movie theater! They have bathrooms, food, and lots of big parking spots. You tune your car into the station on the radio to hear the sound (it's on the receipt). Highly recommend, so much fun for such a good price.

Review 2: My experience at the West Wind Flea Market was very disappointing and disheartening. When I arrived around 9 a.m., another vendor and I entered through the drive-in area to pay for our spots. We asked the staff member at the front about the situation and whether there were still vendors and attendees inside. He told us that there were still people inside, but what he didn’t mention was that many of the vendors were already packing up and leaving. What made this experience worse was the lack of honesty and transparency. The staff clearly knew that vendors were leaving and that there were barely any attendees due to the rain that morning. Despite that, they still charged us the $25 vendor fee with no refund option. If they had been upfront about the situation, we could have made an informed decision before paying. Instead, the experience came across as misleading and inconsiderate—especially for small vendors who rely on these events to make a living. It was frustrating to see how poorly the situation was handled. If management knows that weather conditions are affecting attendance and that vendors are packing up early, they should communicate that clearly before taking payments. Overall, the West Wind Flea Market needs stronger leadership and a fairer system for vendors. The way things were handled felt dismissive and unprofessional. Vendors deserve honesty, respect, and fair treatment—none of which were reflected in this experience. Review 1: Not sure where to start, but here we go! Compared to the West Wind market in Oakland, the San Jose location definitely feels more lively and vibrant. I’ve been to both, and I can confidently say the San Jose spot feels safer and more active. However, my biggest issue is with the management. They come across as overly strict and uptight, which really takes away from the overall experience. It kills the vibe and makes the place feel unwelcoming. Unfortunately, because of that, I wouldn’t come back—and I wouldn’t recommend it to others either.

This was our first experience at a Drive In Theatre. The picture was clear and the FM radio based audio system worked great. We had no problems getting a good spot. We stayed in the car but other families setup chairs or opened up their mini vans and watched from the back. Make sure you have a well charged battery as we saw a few people who needed a jump after perhaps running their heaters in the car too long.
