EXCLUSIVE SPONSOR

There will be a limited amount of tickets available. If they don't sell out on Saturday, they will be available on Sunday. You can come to the Mauch Chunk Opera House (14 W Broadway Jim Thorpe) as early as 11:00am on Saturday, February 19 to purchase your mug walk tickets. We cannot guarantee which trails will be available. In-person tickets will cost $35 - CASH ONLY!

We definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Most of the event takes place in the main Historic District, which is along Broadway and Race Street. However, there are a few participating businesses along West Broadway. Depending on which businesses are on your particular trail, the walk can be 1-2 miles total. You'll be stopping in lots of shops and seeing the sights along the way, so don't be concerned about the total distance.

If you're looking to race through all of the locations, you can probably complete it in 2-3 hours. However, we certainly don't recommend this! We hope you will leisurely walk through our historic town, visit all of our shops, see the sights, and maybe grab a bite. Therefore, we suggest budgeting your time for 3-4 hours. And don't forget that you can complete your trail(s) on both Saturday AND Sunday!

ARRIVE EARLY! And we really mean this! Lessen your parking hassles by planning on being in town no later than 10:30. CARPOOL! If you're coming with other people, we highly recommend meeting up outside of town and driving/parking only ONE VEHICLE into town. If you've been to our town, you know how parking can be challenging during special events and festivals. A recent ordinance does not allow for any visitor parking along West Broadway. You will be ticketed ($50) and possibly towed. We suggest parking in the main county parking lot located at the Train Station. GPS 1 Susquehanna Street Jim Thorpe will get you close to that lot. Kiosk parking in this lot is $12 for the day. Other kiosk parking is available along Susquehanna Street and Broadway. Kiosks accept payment by cash, credit or debit.

You will need to bring proof of purchase (digital or paper) to the Mauch Chunk Opera House (14 W Broadway). Pickup times are Saturday 10:30a-3:00p and Sunday 10:30a-1:00p. Advance pickup will NOT be allowed.

We like to keep this answer a bit of a surprise. Think of it like a treasure hunt! There's no wrong trail to choose. Offerings are fair and similar on each trail–some businesses are on all three trails!

YES! This is a fun way to visit all of the participating businesses. If you're coming in a group, consider one or more of each trail for the best possible experience.

Definitely not! We know having this type of family fun can get expensive. Maybe consider buying one trail for Mom and another for Dad. You get to visit 2/3 of the businesses, the kids can tag along and have the experience without the expense!

This is a family-friendly event, so all ages can enjoy this experience. If you would like an adult beverage along the way, we suggest visiting our numerous bars and pubs.
