National Drive-In Movie Deal at Starlite

National Drive-In Day is a great reminder of what makes drive-in theaters so special. In a time when most people stream movies at home, places like the Starlite Drive-In bring back the fun of watching films under the stars. So, gather your loved ones and head to the Starlite Drive-In on June 6th to celebrate National Drive-In Day in true retro style. Starlite is celebrating National Drive-In Day with a deal!

Going to a movie at Starlite is more than just catching a film it’s a full experience. Guests can enjoy double features on two big screens, with the sound coming through your car’s FM radio. You can stay comfy in your car or bring chairs and blankets to relax outside.

Starlite National Drive-In Movie Deal: On June 6 only, Wichita residents have the opportunity to celebrate National Drive-In Day at the iconic Starlite Drive-In. To celebrate, Starlite is offering a $15 carload night, allowing families and friends to enjoy a nostalgic movie experience.

The Starlite Drive-In has been a cherished part of Wichita’s entertainment. Originally opened as the Rainbow Drive-In on October 1, 1953, it featured a single screen and could accommodate 600 cars. In 1974, the theater underwent significant renovations, emerging as the Landmark Twin Drive-In with two screens. By 1998, it was renamed the Starlite Drive-In, expanding its capacity to 1,300 cars.
