The Harvest Moon was awarded Best Movie Theater, Best Entertainment Venue and 2nd Best Date Spot for this year.
We are incredibly grateful for all of the fans that voted for us to claim these honors, but also need to give a much deserved recognition to our staff. They work beside us every night, represent the part of our business you all interact with on your trips here, and most importantly help us keep this place running for all to experience each season.
In the last two years many of them have stepped up tremendously to help us carry the weight of our losses with the death of my wife last year and death of our father this season. It’s been far from a good experience for our family but these amazing people held things together so we could collapse when we needed to. There are no words to accurately convey our appreciation for what they have done and continue to do.
Even now, some staff are working tirelessly alongside us to get everything ready for opening weekend of Frightfest starting tonight.
Thank you all for these awards and being a bright moment in a hard year.
We hope you’ll join us for the next 5 weekends as we end our regular season with Frightfest, Halloween fun and the Grease cast fan event this Friday and Saturday night.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
The Harroun Family
Owners- Harvest Moon Twin Drive-in
In 2025 we invested in a top of the line Watchfire LED Digital Marquee for an upgrade to our historic neon sign. We did this to show off not just what is happening at the drive-in and our movies, but to collaborate with local businesses, organizations and folks looking for a fun and unique way to put out a message or advertise their events and services.
With thousands of cars travelling Rt 47 daily and the unique history of the Harvest Moon, we created a canvas to show off how special our community and partners are year round.
Whether you want to put up a 'shout out', celebration, birthday or full set of business ads, we have affordable rates that you can use to spread awareness, promote events and support one of the last operating drive-in theaters in the US in the process.
Click below to send us an email with your ideas and inquiries and we'll send you our ad rates.
Rates are available for 1 day, a week, or monthly with additional discounts for length of run, local groups/businesses and Ad packages with all our offerings at the Harvest Moon.
Click here to join our Movie Club email list. We'll send you the upcoming events and movies, exclusive coupons, and fun extras once a week during the season. It's a great way to see what's happening at the drive-in right from your inbox.

Your support on social media makes more of an impact than you can imagine.
Traditional advertising for movie theaters is almost nonexistent. People have diverse options from news to entertainment and it’s impossible to get our business in front of the people that matter without the help of our fans.
Social media interaction, likes, shares and views are absolutely what helps to promote and keep small businesses like us open!
We appreciate you all and will continue providing a mix of fun, entertaining and informative posts throughout the year to update you on events, movies and contests at the drive-in!
You can find us on X(twitter), Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Linked In and Tik Tok!

Introducing Drive-in Dollars!
What is it?
Simple, you get reward points for every admission you purchase to see a movie here at the Harvest Moon and every purchase of $10 or more that you spend on food and merch at our sales stands. Every point you earn adds up to great rewards such as Free Drinks, Free Popcorn, Free Admission.
