7th annual Snoqualmie Valley Halloween Event - Night on a Dark Trail!

COME EXPERIENCE AN EVENING OF GHOSTLY ENTERTAINMENT WITH NIGHT ON A DARK TRAIL!

October 5, 2017

What is Night on a Dark Trail? We are an annual Snoqualmie Valley outdoor walkable spooky theatrical Halloween trail located on an old abandoned RV campground! Each year we come together to create an entertaining and fun Halloween event. Our trail offers fun and spooky scenes with live performers. Audience members walk through a forest setting via a trail in groups to discover what might be lurking in the dark! From the theatrical, to quirky to downright creepy, we have something for everyone in our community and beyond! Are you brave enough to descend into the dark

LOCATION:  34500 SE 99th Street, Snoqualmie, WA 98065. We are located just off of I-90 at Exit 25 and Snoqualmie Parkway across the street from the new location of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. Some long term residents may know this location as the old Leisure Time RV park campground.

TRAIL LENGTH: It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk through the trail. Typically groups of 10 are launched on the trail at one time.

CLOTHING: The trail can be rainy, wet and cold with mud puddles. Warm clothing, layers and suitable footwear or rain boots are recommended.

WEATHER, RAIN, CLOSURES: We are typically open rain or shine! However there have been years when extreme winds and rain have caused us to close for the evening. Safety is the main concern for our audience and cast. If there is a closure on a performance evening, this information will be clearly posted as CANCELLED on our Facebook page and at the top page of this website.

WAIT TIMES:  Lines can be short and sweet or up to an hour long or so (depending on the night) but worth the wait!

IS THE TRAIL WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE?  Since the trail is outdoors within an old campground, the ground can be wet, soggy and uneven. We regret that the trail is not an ideal location for wheelchairs.


Some scenes may contain what could be considered somewhat scary imagery for very young children and are performed in close proximity. The actors do not touch the audience members. Parent discretion recommended.
