Love the Drive-in and Want to Help us out?
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.
