A capital region tradition<\/p>\n

West Wind Sacramento 6 Drive-In has operated in the area since 1973, Davis said.<\/p>\n

The theater is part of the West Wind chain, a family-owned company founded in 1952 that operates locations across the West, including California, Nevada and Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe atmosphere at West Wind is best described as relaxed family fun with a mix of old-school drive-in vibe combined with the latest technology,\u201d the company\u2019s website says.<\/p>\n
