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!
