Penn's Peak is a mountaintop concert venue in Jim Thorpe, PA, with a full-service restaurant and bar, Roadies, on site.

The hall sits on a mountaintop with an overlook of Beltzville Lake and, by the venue's count, holds 1,800 concertgoers, a size that brings national touring acts and tribute shows to Carbon County. The calendar is full through the winter, from Old Crow Medicine Show and Dark Star Orchestra this fall to a run of Christmas shows in December and tribute nights into the new year. Roadies Restaurant and Bar on site makes dinner and the show one trip.

Coming up

This fall: Old Crow Medicine Show October 17, Deana Carter October 22, Candlebox October 25, Dark Star Orchestra November 25, then December holiday shows including Ryan Pelton's Elvis Christmas Show December 3 to 5 and Sara Evans December 12.
