Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble. Without a Cue Productions and Pops McCann Whiskey will put a spell on you with the debut of the first Hocus Pocus Speakeasy in Montgomery County, outside Philadelphia. This first-ever suburban seasonal pop-up will feature eight bewitchingly boozy weeks of mayhem, mixology and mischief. This new spooky playground will start on September 12 through November 8, 2026 at Montgomery Mall in North Wales, in the former location of Hot Topic (rumored to be haunted by the ghost of teen spirits). Every Saturday at 7:00pm and Sunday at 3:00pm, look for a special Hocus Pocus Experience with the Sanderson Sisters. These wickedly interactive weekly events will feature spellbinding performances, games and access to decorations, photo opportunities and theme “potions.” On Freaky Fridays during the run, look for broom making, cabarets and theme nights, such as Hocus Pocus Bingo, Hocus Pocus Broom Academy, Dirty Potter, Mrs. Roper Romp Bingo, Burlesque Bingo and other special events. Costumes for all experiences are encouraged, inhibitions discouraged. For tickets and more information, follow @withoutacue on social media and visit: hocuspocusspeakeasy.com/philadelphia  

“Grab your broomsticks, fluff up your wigs and prepare to get spellbound as Without a Cue Productions flies into Montgomery Mall for the first time for a special eight week pop-up for spooky season,” said Without a Cue Productions’ Founder and Executive Director Traci Connaughton. “Hocus Pocus Speakeasy will make its Philadelphia suburb debut in the former Hot Topic – known as an iconic store for Halloween over the generations and decades.”
