Beer, Wine & Chocolate Festival
at Western Pocono Community Library
SATURDAY 11/22 @ 11AM – 3PM

Smashing Pumpkins Day
FRIDAY NOV 28 @ 12PM – 5PM
Smashing Pumpkins Day (a holiday I made up a few years ago) occurs the day after Thanksgiving when you have to get rid of your Halloween pumpkins to make way for Christmas decor. To celebrate, everyone brings their pumpkins and we smash them while listening to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, creating a feast for the local deer.
This year, Dom has agreed to let me share it with all of you. He also promised to make us a comically large wooden mallet to smash pumpkins with, so….
Come one and all to celebrate! Well, not all. This is a 21+ event. Unless one of you wants to explain to a distraught child why they can’t play with the mallet. Free entry. BYOP.
Black Forest Krampusnacht
SATURDAY DEC 6 @ 12PM – 6PM
at Carbon Craft Beer Taproom in Lehighton
Join us for the 5th Annual Black Forest Krampusnacht in Downtown Lehighton. This immersive celebration of folklore and resilience will be held on Saturday December 6th from 12PM – 6PM. Father Christmas, The Snow Queen, Santa Lucia, Mari Lwyd, Belsnickel, and more will be in attendance, as well as music, art, food, and fun. We will keep our traditions of raising money/collecting gifts for local children in need, supporting the arts, and honoring the rich and varied global history of winter legends and celebrations.
Many announcements to follow, but for now, make sure you return your grocery cart where it belongs and hold the door open for strangers. Krampus is coming!
Special thank you to our friends and hosts at the Lehighton Area Merchants Association, and for the community that lends their talent and time to make this happen.
Big Creek Vineyard will be serving their usual menu as well as Glühwein (red wine sweetened and mulled with spices, served hot), Spiked Apple Pie (our Spiced Apple wine with ginger brandy, served hot), and some good German-style Pennsylvania beer!
