A Halloween Party at Fairchild
A live DJ, cocktails, and costumes take over the Garden.
General Admission Tickets: $35.95

Log in required.
Dance, Dress Up, and Stay Late
It’s a Halloween party in the Garden. Bring your crew, put on a costume, and make a night of it.
The DJ is spinning and the Garden is yours.
A live DJ sets the pace, and the Garden becomes your dance floor. Cocktails pour at The Other Side Bar at Amazonica Pond, and at 9:00 p.m. the costume contest takes center stage, with cash prizes of $250 for first, $100 for second, and $50 for third.
Hungry? Order a picnic basket for two in advance, or book the Rest In Pieces Lounge (21+) for a VIP night with friends. If you feel like wandering, the Shadow Trail winds through the Garden, with tarot readers and aerialists along the way.
Two nights only. Come dressed to party.
