This week/weekend is a celebration of some of the most incredible people we know. Today is officially National Teacher Day and an appropriate place to list our specials for this weekend in celebration of those we respect and admire for the work they do and compassion they have.

In celebration of Nurses Week and Teacher Appreciation Week, we are offering a discount on all admission tickets for Nurses of all levels(including CNAs) and teachers with a work id when you pay at the box office for a show with us Friday, Saturday or Sunday this weekend. Not only that, but we are also giving out a free gift coupon valid for your choice of value size soda & popcorn or $1 off the larger sizes that you can redeem the night you join us.

My late mother Jeanne was a special education teacher for decades and poured herself into helping those students reach the potential that she saw in everyone. She spent long hours planning, grading, decorating and financing her tasks to elevate and improve the students experience while raising us and attending continuing education to keep up with requirements. For many students, she was a favorite and loved what she did until a massive stroke forced her out of education. She was inspiration to us even today in all we do at the theater. 

My late wife Nora was a CNA for years with aspirations to become a nurse later on. She loved the medical field and helping others. She brought charm, compassion and care to a position that many overlook. We also have many friends and family in nursing and I have the utmost respect for all of them especially after spending so many days and nights watching as they took care of Nora over the 6 weeks she was hospitalized last year before she passed away. I am beyond grateful for the love and compassion they showed her and our family from the start into the hard moments afterwards. I will never forget them.

And finally, this week culminates with a celebration of both of these amazing women that I had the honor of calling my family with Mother's Day. Because of them and what they represent to me and how much I appreciate all the moms and pet moms out there, we are also giving you all a special gift coupon for a value size pop & popcorn or $1 off discount on the larger sizes for all shows Friday, Saturday & Sunday with an extra free admission pass to these special ladies that join us for our movies on Sunday for the Mother's Day holiday. We appreciate you all!

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.

The online shop is open 24/7 to take your orders for exclusive drive-in goodies and gift items to get family and friends for the big occasions. We run special sales with deep discounts periodically so make sure to check back each week to score a great deal and help a small family owned business keep the drive-in dream alive!
