Stardust Drive-In Movie Theater

05/09/2025

This time of year is usually filled with excitement as we prepare for another season under the stars. It’s bittersweet to look out at an empty lot, knowing we won’t be opening the gates just yet.

The Stardust has always been more than a theater—it’s a place where memories are made.

If you haven’t seen our update about this season’s pause, here’s the full story: https://gofund.me/a2b21395

We’re holding onto hope, and grateful for everyone who’s holding onto us.

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Movie Lovers Near and Far, For decades, … Nicholas Meyer needs your support for Support Stardust Drive-In's Temporary Closure

🌠 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.

🎬 Please consider donating or sharing:
👉 https://gofund.me/a2b21395

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
Chetek, WI
