Marathon Bar Events

10/15/2026

We've been a little quiet on our page this month, but trust us, it's certainly not because we have nothing to say! We've just been running in a hundred different directions!

Between a bustling Inn and bringing our Electrifying Jack O'Lantern Experience to life at the West End Fairgrounds, our days have been long, our nights have been short, and most evenings we practically fall into bed from exhaustion!

But come the crack of dawn, we're right back at it, making sure our Inn guests wake up to a delicious homemade breakfast and a wonderful start to their day.

Speaking of The Inn, we still have a few midweek openings available, but our weekends are completely booked through mid-November! If you've been dreaming of a little getaway with us, we highly recommend reserving your stay soon.

Creating special places where people can escape, relax, laugh, and make lasting memories is certainly not for the faint of heart. It's a whole lot of hard work, a little bit of craziness, and more coffee than we'd care to admit!

But seeing people enjoy what we've worked so hard to create makes every exhausting day worth it. ❤️

Here we go again! Another magical weekend at The Electrifying Jack O'Lantern Experience!

The pumpkins are glowing, the fall air is crisp, and we're ready to welcome everyone back for another weekend of Halloween magic!

Before you visit, here are a few things we'd love for you to know!

Halloween fun for EVERYONE! One of the things we're most proud of is that our experience is designed to be sensory-friendly. No strobe lights, no jump scares, and nothing frightening lurking around the corner! Just thousands of beautifully carved Jack O'Lanterns creating a magical atmosphere for Halloween lovers of all ages.

We're also wheelchair-friendly, with plenty of benches scattered throughout the grounds for anyone who needs to sit, relax, and take a little break along the way. Whether you're 5 or 95, we want you to enjoy every moment!

Don't miss our Blacklight Room! The Jack O'Lantern pictured here was created especially for this display, where you'll discover some of our most incredibly intricate carvings. The detail is truly amazing! It's also our only indoor display, so be sure to stop in and take a look. You won't want to miss it!

Now, let's talk about the weekend!

Tonight is shaping up to be another picture-perfect fall evening! We're keeping a close eye on Friday's forecast and will keep everyone posted as we know more.

Saturday is looking absolutely beautiful, and tickets are going FAST! Last weekend, our first three time slots sold out, so don't wait too long to grab yours. Remember, once you're inside, you're welcome to take your time and enjoy the magic. There's no rush!

And if we haven't mentioned it enough already...

WE LOVE HALLOWEEN!

But what we love even more is seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, and watching families and friends of every generation enjoying something we've worked so hard to create.

Come make some Halloween memories with us this weekend!

Tickets are available online only, so grab yours before your preferred time sells out!

Today marked the beginning of 10 straight days of transforming the West End Fairgrounds into a magical Halloween wonderland.

Rain or shine, the work doesn't stop. We pushed through today's downpour because Opening Night is October 9, and there's no time to waste. With tickets selling fast, the countdown is officially on!

If you love Halloween but could do without the gore and jump scares, you've found your perfect fall tradition. Stroll through thousands of glowing hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns, breathtaking displays, and an unforgettable atmosphere—without anyone jumping out to scare the daylights out of you.

It's an honor that Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau continues to rank The Electrifying Jack O'Lantern Experience among the top things to do this fall.

October 9 will be here before we know it—we can't wait to welcome you!

It looks like Mother Nature wins again.

We really had high hopes that after six years we'd finally make it through an entire September without having to cancel a show due to the weather. Sadly, that won't be the case.

With the forecast looking the way it does, we've made the difficult decision to cancel The Moondogs this Saturday. They're such a phenomenal band, and with the addition of June Thomas from The Decoy Clones, we were incredibly excited to welcome them back to The Wilds.

Unfortunately, the weather just isn't on our side, and we don't feel we'll be able to pull this one off safely.

That means our 2026 concert season has officially come to an end.

To everyone who joined us this year—thank you for another amazing season of live music, unforgettable nights, and incredible memories. We can't wait to do it all again in 2027. ❤️

The Circus Rejects coming to you live from The Wilds.

We'll be here until 7.

Reminder that the show starts at 4 today.

I have to admit, this time of year is my absolute favorite. As we head into fall, there's just something special about those crisp September evenings—they're made for outdoor concerts at The Wilds.

Every September, Mother Nature usually throws us a curveball, and we almost always end up canceling a couple of shows because of rain. But not today!

The forecast couldn't be more perfect as The Circus Rejects take the stage at 4:00 PM. Gates open at 3:00 PM, so come early, grab a bite to eat, and settle in for what promises to be an incredible evening of live music. I know so many of you have been excited to see The Circus Rejects on this year's lineup, and today is finally the day!

And yes... the Filet Mignon Cheesesteak is back! After selling out so quickly last week, we've stocked up to make sure there are plenty to go around. But as always, they are a crowd favorite, so if you've been wanting to try one, don't wait too long!

We'll see you at The Wilds!

What an incredible two weekends of live music at The Wilds! The weather has been perfect, and both Project 22 and Bad Influence absolutely brought the house down with their incredible talent, stage presence, and nonstop energy.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support live, local music. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!

Now it's time to do it all again this Saturday as The Circus Rejects take the stage. This talented band doesn't perform often, making this a show you won't want to miss. They cover an incredible variety of music, and after catching them at another local venue, we were so impressed by their musicianship and outstanding vocals that we knew we had to bring them to The Wilds.

Don't forget—our next two shows will have an earlier start time! Gates open at 3:00 PM, and the music starts at 4:00 PM.

We'll see you Saturday!

Get ready for an awesome Saturday! We'll happily take these cooler temperatures as we welcome back Bad Influence.

If you were here last year, you know what an incredible party it was.
Round up your crew, hit the dance floor, and let's make Saturday night one to remember!

See you Saturday!😍
