The Wellmont Theater Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Free Party

New Jersey's premier live entertainment venue will host OkTENberfest event and offer $10 tickets to performances to round out 2018

Ten years ago, Montclair’s Wellmont Theater reopened as a live entertainment venue, and to celebrate, will host an anniversary “OkTENberfest” open house party on Saturday, October 27, from 1:00-6:00 p.m. To further commemorate this milestone, The Wellmont is releasing a portion of tickets for each of its remaining 2018 shows for just $10.

OkTENberfest guests will enjoy food vendors, spirits tasting, a selection of more than 40 beers and brews, a photo booth provided by Little Nest Portraits, debut of new Wellmont merchandise, and the opportunity to see the historic venue up close with guided tours.

The Wellmont encourages attendees to bring a non-perishable food donation to benefit the Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair. With each bag of five items donated, patrons will receive a free ticket to an upcoming Wellmont show. Donations of more than 20 items will enter guests into a raffle for two tickets to a show of choice.
