Smoked Meats, Bluegrass, and Spirits at SCAREFEST

Scarefest Scream Park Announces "BBQ, Bourbon & Boos" Event September 25th & 26th 

Metro Detroit’s Premier Halloween Festival Pairs Aged Oak, Hickory Smoke, and Haunted Atmosphere for an Exclusive Autumn Celebration September 25 & 26

LENOX TOWNSHIP, MI – As autumn settles into Metro Detroit, Scarefest Scream Park is heating things up with its exclusive specialty event, BBQ, Bourbon & Boos. Taking place on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM, the park will transform its massive 50-acre festival grounds into a haven where the crisp night air meets the warmth of aged oak and hickory smoke.

Designed as a premier fall-themed destination experience before the traditional October haunts officially launch, BBQ, Bourbon & Boos offers a unique, upscale festival environment tailored specifically for an unique date night, foodies, spirit enthusiasts, and music lovers alike.

BBQ, Bourbon & Boos Event Highlights Include:

  • Live Music from Black Jake & the Carnies: Enjoy high-energy live performances by the renowned bluegrass-punk fusion band.

  • Bourbon & Whiskey Tastings: Sample select local bourbons and batch cocktails.

  • Gourmet Barbeque & Smoked Meats: Feast on amazing barbeque food selections, featuring a premium BBQ sauce sampling station and a classic corn roast.

  • Exclusive VIP Pig Roast Dinner: VIP ticket holders gain access to an exclusive, on-site pig roast dinner with all the fixings.

  • The Midway Experience: Gather around a roaring bonfire, craft the perfect s'more, step into our onsite cigar lounge to perfectly pair your bourbon, and explore the heated bar tent serving additional canned beers and cocktails.

"Reaching 20 years is a testament to the families who have made us part of their traditions, and we wanted our September lineup to reflect that celebration with something truly special for our guests," said Lauren Marino, Operations Manager at Scarefest Scream Park. "BBQ, Bourbon & Boos brings together the absolute best parts of fall—incredible comfort food, local spirits, and fantastic live music—all set against the backdrop of our iconic festival atmosphere and award winning haunts. It’s the perfect way to kick off the season."

While the park's central Midway will be fully alive with entertainment and ghouls, this specialty weekend focuses heavily on a social, high-end festival environment. Guests will also have the opportunity to experience the park's atmosphere before the large crowds come for the regular October season.

Tickets are limited for this exclusive event. For more details on ticket packages, event schedules, or to purchase admission, visit www.scarefestscreampark.com/bbq-bourbon-boos
