As the calendar turns to May, we’re reminded this is usually the time we’d be sweeping the lot, tuning the projectors, and getting ready to welcome everyone back under the stars.
This season, the screen will stay dark—but the Stardust spirit lives on in every memory you've shared with us.

From all of us at Stardust, thank you for your continued support, love, and patience. We'll be back when the time is right.
🌠 A Message from the Stardust Drive-In Family 🌠
To our incredible Stardust community,
It’s with a heavy heart that we share some personal news:
The Stardust Drive-In will not open for the 2025 season as our family takes time to focus on health, healing, and being together.
This theater has always been a family-run labor of love — a place built by hand, powered by community, and kept alive by memories under the stars. Every movie shown, every car parked, every kernel of popcorn popped — it’s all been part of something special.
But even while our screen goes dark this season, the behind-the-scenes work continues — maintenance, equipment care, insurance, and upkeep that can’t be paused.
That’s why we’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign — to help preserve the Stardust during this time so that we can reopen in the future and welcome you all back with open arms and a glowing screen.

Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or a memory left in the comments — means the world to our family and our amazing crew.
We’re so grateful to be part of a community that continues to believe in the magic of the movies.
Thank you for standing with us.
💛 With love,
The Stardust Drive-In Family
