The 49er Drive In Theater (named one of America's top 10 drive-in theaters) is conveniently located approximately 10 minutes from Chesterton right off of Calumet Avenue (Old State Road 49). The outdoor theater opened for its 55th season with a brand new screen and updated concession menu in May 2011. Outdoor theaters are becoming harder and harder to find, yet fortunately Chesterton is in the vicinity of this exclusive venue.
