Harvest Nights in Indianapolis
Ghosts, goblins, and gourds galore fill the foggy forest for Harvest Nights in the gardens of Newfields, 4000 Michigan Road, Indianapolis, Indiana, from Friday (September 29, 2023) through October 31, 2023.
Wander through thousands of glowing jack-o-lanterns shimmering in The Garden moonlight on the Pumpkin Path of Peril. Feel the Ghost Train rumble beneath your feet, presented by Full Body Chills. See The Three Graces come to life in the party of the century at Mischief Manor projected on the iconic Lilly House facade. Join the party inside Lilly House where you’ll find spooky, not scary, handmade décor by the Newfields horticulture team.
A trip to Harvest Nights isn’t complete without a treat. Savory and sweet fall snacks and beverages are available for purchase, including a new menu of brews, like Night Owl Pumpkin Ale from Elysian Brewing Company. Or the Whiskey Applejack by Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, Campfire Cocoa made with Hotel Tango’s savory and sweet Toasted Marshmallow Bourbon, apple cider from locally-sourced apples, caramel corn from Just Pop In!, Cinnamon Bavarian Crème Churros, and giant pretzels from Half Liter.
Tickets (which must be purchased in advance) vary by date. Adult tickets are $24, $29, and $34. There’s something called a WickedWonder Pass, priced at $119, that includes a multitude of perks such as expedited entry, pumpkin blinky lights, a non-alcoholic beverage, light snack, and special access to the Lilly House Lounge. There also are several event packages.
