Witch Craft

From the producers of the beloved Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival comes a new, fun, Fall festivity that will have you in a hex. Lake Lenape Park will be transformed into a mysterious wooded village of local partners serving up zesty stews and seasonal brews so magical it must be Witch Craft. This experience is unlike any other beer festival, autumn activity or spook show. Imagine a one-of-a-kind Halloween-lifestyle extravaganza co-hosted by the original monster movie characters! Tents will be decked to the nines in mysterious haunt or corny charm, with approximately 50 brew masters and distillery wizards pouring their classics, as well as some seasonal debuts. Guests will stroll along an enchanted path throughout Lake Lenape Park East while sampling all of the magical liquid being poured. At the end of the night, it will be up to the attendees to decide which tent is awarded “best dressed” with bragging rights until next year.
