Seasonal Events at Our Poconos Resort

Throughout the year, our resort in Pennsylvania is known for adding a number of events to our already jampacked lineup of activities.

During the Halloween season, our woods are taken over by a creepy cast of characters during Haunted Walks. Year after year, the event features new scares and tricks. This event is not recommended for kids under 10.

Another popular seasonal event is the Festival of Lights, which runs from Thanksgiving through New Year. Bundle up and enjoy over a half mile of holiday displays via a wagon ride along our Nature Trail.

To discover even more events, check out the tentative schedules for the year.

It’s not just our resort that gets into seasonal fun. The surrounding Poconos area is home to charming communities and towns known for hosting their own events and festivals throughout the year.
