Gardner Village’s Beloved WitchFest Will Be Returning To Utah For Its 20th Year

We look forward to Gardner Village’s WitchFest every year, and this year marks a special anniversary. Witches of all ages have been gathering here for 20 years! The festival is going on right now, and you’re not going to want to miss it.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
It's a long-standing tradition for many Utahns to visit the annual Halloween celebration at Gardner Village. WitchFest got its start in 2000, and it's gotten bigger and better every year since.

Getting your witch costume ready is half the fun, and seeing all the other witches' costumes is pretty amazing, too. This year, add a bejeweled mask to your costume - you'll need to wear one while you're at Gardner Village. Make sure to stay at least a broomstick apart from others in attendance.
There's plenty to see and do at WitchFest. The witches displays and scavenger hunt are free for all to enjoy. Witches Night Out and Wee Witches Weekend are also free, but some of the activities have fees.

Celebrate the witching season with the challenge of The Witches of Mystic Manor escape room, and check out Mystique Dining: Manifestations, A Tribute To Edgar Allen Poe. It's a lavish dinner and show with dramatic readings of Poe's creepiest stories and award-winning magic tricks.
