Calling All Witches!

If you are looking for a fun-filled Halloween tradition in Utah, or just someplace to get your witch on, then look no further than historic Gardner Village. Every year from mid-September through October, Gardner Village in West Jordan goes all out for the Season with their Witchfest celebration.

Now, if you have never been to Gardner Village, you should know it is a unique shopping experience. It is a small village enclave filled with boutique-style shops selling everything from clothing and arts and crafts to food and furniture. The village provides a pleasurable shopping experience as you walk from cottage to cottage to see the unique wares each shop offers.

But we are here to talk Halloween, and for this holiday season, Gardner Village turns the atmosphere up a notch with their annual Witchfest. So, grab your broom and come along.

Witches Night Out

First and foremost, the big event that stands out during the 45-day Witchfest celebration is Witches Night Out. Part festival shopping, part cosplay, this two-night event really brings out your inner witch. With a combination of shopping amazing deals, prize drawings, and good food, Witches Night Out is the perfect girls’ night out. They have a parade at 8 pm, and witch displays that come to life within the village. The whole place gives off a fun, spooky vibe of old Salem, but witch trials are replaced by great bargains and happy witches. Guests are encouraged to dress the part too, donning their own hats and gowns. Oh, and no tickets are needed to get into this premier Halloween extravaganza—just show up and have fun!

Witches Weekends

Like Witches Night Out, every Friday and Saturday in October is Witches Weekend. Here you can experience interactions—including some great photo ops—with living, breathing Gardner Village witches in the Center Court area. Fridays, noon-3:30 pm and Saturdays, noon-4 pm. Food trucks and activities in select shops.

The Scavenger Hunt

Another free event is the With Scavenger Hunt, held twice during Witchfest—once on the first Saturday (September 17 th ) and on Halloween (October 31 st ). This hunt is billed as “touchless,” which means you are navigated through the village by signs and your phone. Again, this event is free to everyone. Click here if you want to learn more.

Witchapalooza Dinner Theater

Nothing beats a delicious dinner with great entertainment. This year’s new show is “Runnin’ with the Devil.” Back by popular demand is everyone’s favorite Malevolent Master of Ceremonies: The Devil.
