Starlight Drive-In

Enjoy movies under stars at Atlanta’s only classic drive-in theater

Nostalgia was never so much fun as an evening watching movies under the stars at Atlanta’s only drive-in theater, the Starlight. Open since 1949, the Starlight has both changed with the times–adding more screens and switching to digital projection–and held onto its yesteryear charm.

Reasons to visit the Starlight

1. It’s a great date night. You can bring lawn chairs and sit outside the car.
2. You can have a party at the Starlight. There is no extra charge for coming as a group (minimum 18 people or four cars). Groups may arrive early to assure they can park next to each other.
3. It’s a fun night for the entire family. Adult tickets are $10 while kids ages 5-9 are only $1. The ticket allows you admission for two movies playing on the same screen.
4. The Starlight is open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
