Event Details

Join us for the first ever Moonlite Market at the historic Calvert Drive-In! Spend a magical fall evening shopping beneath the glow of string lights while enjoying the nostalgic atmosphere of Kentucky's oldest drive-in theater.

We're bringing together 70–80 talented vendors offering handmade goods, artisan creations, boutique finds, vintage treasures, home décor, jewelry, apparel, candles, specialty foods, and other thoughtfully curated items. A limited number of coffee vendors and dessert food trucks may also be selected to add to the evening's experience.

As the sun goes down, a family-friendly movie (to be announced) will begin playing on our giant outdoor screen, creating the perfect backdrop as you browse the vendor booths. The movie is meant to enhance the atmosphere of the market, but guests who would like to sit and enjoy the film are welcome to bring lawn chairs and FM radios and gather in our grassy viewing area.

The Calvert Drive-In concession stand and arcade will both be open throughout the event, so come hungry and plan to spend the evening with us!

Admission is free. However, in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are encouraging guests to make a $5 charitable donation to Book for Hope, an organization dedicated to supporting children battling cancer and the families walking alongside them. Every donation helps bring hope to families during some of life's most difficult moments.

Whether you're shopping for unique gifts, supporting local makers, grabbing dinner with friends, or simply enjoying a movie under the stars, Moonlite Market promises to be an unforgettable evening for the whole family.
