The Electrifying Jack O' Lantern Experience

10/11/2026

Well, it looks like we made the right call canceling tonight’s event! Mother Nature certainly isn't holding back, and it's a mess out there!

We've reached out to everyone who purchased tickets, and thankfully, all but ONE ticket holder has responded.

If you have tickets for tonight and haven't gotten back to us, PLEASE check your voicemail or email and respond as soon as possible!

The last thing we want is for anyone to make the trip only to arrive and find the event canceled.

We appreciate everyone's understanding. Your safety is always our priority, and we're glad we made the call when we did!

Stay safe and dry out there! 🎃

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE OPENING NIGHT!

What a way to kick off The Electrifying Jack O'Lantern Experience! The fire pits were packed well into the evening, the atmosphere was magical, and we met so many wonderful Halloween lovers! Some traveled all the way from Long Island to join us!

Now we're curious… how far did YOU travel to experience the magic?

Our caramel apple nachos were a HUGE hit, and both the spiked hot chocolate and caramel apple sangria completely SOLD OUT! So here's a little tip: grab your favorites early tonight! And of course, the Sam Adams Jack-O Pumpkin Ale was another crowd favorite!

Looking for something warm and delicious? Our house-made White Chicken Chili and Sweet Potato Chowder will be available in the kitchen directly behind the S'mores tent. As well as Coffee and Hot chocolate

SATURDAY TICKET UPDATE!

7:00 PM — SOLD OUT!

7:30 PM — ALMOST SOLD OUT!

8:00–9:00 PM — Tickets still available!

And here's something worth remembering: A later arrival doesn't mean a shorter experience! Once you're inside, you're welcome to stay as long as you'd like! In fact, arriving later means you'll miss the busiest crowds and have more room to wander, explore, and soak up all that glowing Halloween magic at your own pace.

Mother Nature is treating us to another picture-perfect fall evening, and we can't wait to do it all over again!

Grab your tickets, bring your favorite people, and come experience a little Halloween magic with us tonight!

Looks like Mother nature decided that tomorrow Sunday October 11th is not a good day to have an event, so we have suspended all sales for tomorrow and set emails to all tickets holders.

If you had tickets for tomorrow, you have one of three options:

Have your tickets moved to this evening, it's going to be perfect weather

Move to another date

Or we can issue a refund.

Please check your email, so we can be assured we get your tickets fixed.

Day 3 of setup is complete, and the transformation is happening fast!

Every day, the fairgrounds look a little different. Displays are going up, new scenes are taking shape, and it's becoming easier to imagine the magic that's just around the corner.

It's still hard to comprehend what more than 5,000 jack-o'-lanterns spread across the West End Fairgrounds will look like.

Today we added even more displays, and tomorrow the tents go up for the Happy Jack Lounge, a special spot for adults 21 and over.. of course we also have five dedicated fire pits lined with benches and a tented dinning area for families.

The excitement is building, the crew is working hard, and we're getting closer every day.

Only 8 days to go!

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!

One of the craziest parts of creating our experience is the unbelievable amount of work that happens long before opening night.

If you're new to our page, here's a little behind-the-scenes look.

Planning for next year's experience actually begins before we've even packed away this year's displays. We spend evenings walking the trail while it's lit, looking for places where we can sneak in another magical scene to make each season even more unforgettable. Now in our sixth year, our goal is always the same—to make every visit even more magical than the last.

Then, starting in April, the real work begins. We build the large-scale displays and spend thousands of hours carving every single jack-o'-lantern by hand. That's right—every pumpkin is individually carved using Dremel tools, allowing us to create the intricate artwork our guests have come to expect and love. Once everything arrives on site, our carpenters and electricians transform the fairgrounds into the experience you see each fall.

It's an incredible amount of work, but every late night is worth it when we hear the "oohs," "ahhs," and laughter echoing through the grounds.

Right now we're working around the clock putting on the finishing touches because this weekend we take over the beautiful West End Fairgrounds... and opening night is almost here!

🎃 Don't wait—grab your tickets now before your preferred date sells out! 🎃

We don't know about you, but after these last few 90-degree Spring days, we're ready for Fall!

I know I gotta wait, but this is my current mindset.. 🤷🏻‍♀️
