INDIANAPOLIS, IN.- Harvest Nights presented by Everwise Credit Union returns this fall from September 26 through November 2, transforming The Garden into 52 acres of spooky twists, turns, pumpkins and ghosts. In this sixth iteration of Harvest Nights, visitors can expect to see favorites from the past back again including the Garden Monsters created by local artists (this year’s theme being Thickets & Thorns is supported by Corteva), the Pumpkin Path of Peril, Ghost Train and Raven Orchard. Although, there is plenty of new, providing guests with the wonder of what is to come throughout the festival.

Inside of Mischief Manor, which is open to all ticketholders, is a brand-new experience curated with the help of frightfully talented collaborators: Color Story Studio, Zhuzh Home Styling & Improvements, Rue de Fleurs and Indiana Paper Company. Explore eleven enchanted rooms and witness how Mischief Manor’s historical features and figures come to life. Upstairs, the new Cutwater Lounge is open to all guests ages 21 and over where guests can have a sip and enjoy the experience on a whole different level.

Also new this year, as guests make their way through tens of thousands of pumpkins and gourds, they will discover the Fungi Forest. More than 50 larger-than-life, handmade mushrooms by Kara Kent and artists from Expo Design will capture the imaginations of all with their striking stature and funky colors.

The finale of a fog-filled evening must be Mischief Manor. Outside, visitors will meet The Three Graces and witness their attempt to keep the house in order while ghosts and spirits alike dance the night away in a party depicted with cutting-edge projection mapping technology by Addy-award winning Lightborne Communication, Inc. revitalized projection makes this year’s show even more enthralling.
