By admin

Gardner Village Witches Night Out 2023 is a highly anticipated event that promises spooky fun and festivities for all who attend. Held in the historic Gardner Village in West Jordan, Utah, this event is known for its immersive experience and captivating atmosphere. Witches Night Out is an annual event that takes place during the Halloween season, and the 2023 edition is expected to be bigger and better than ever.

WitchFest

If you visit historic Gardner Village mid-September through October, you’re in for a real treat! And maybe a few tricks as well as the witches come out to play during the annual WitchFest in West Jordan, Utah.

The menace is intentional each year as crews begin working on WitchFest, Gardner Village’s seasonal celebration of everything witch, complete with witch displays and a scavenger hunt to find them. WitchFest is Utah's premier Halloween festival.

THE HOST OF WITCHFEST 2023

“Gardner Village is a unique destination that brings visitors every day throughout the year,” Long says. “Especially during WitchFest, people come from California, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and even the East Coast to be part of the fun. The Village showcases an important part of West Jordan and Utah history.”

Gardner Village features locally owned specialty shops and event venues surrounding the historic Gardner Mill, which is listed on the National Historic Register. The old flour mill and silo are home to Archibald’s Restaurant, Mill Plaza and CF Home. Vintage pioneer architecture, antique fixtures, red brick paths and bridges add to the atmosphere that takes you back to a simpler time and spotlight Utah's colorful history.

Gardner Village is a Utah historic site and is located at 1100 West 7800 South in West Jordan, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. The Village is open year 'round, Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays.

Reviews for "Join the Coven: Gardner Village Witches Night Out 2023"

1. Jennifer - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Gardner Village Witches Night Out in 2023. The whole event was overcrowded and poorly organized. It was difficult to navigate through the crowds, and I felt like I was constantly being bumped into. The lines for food and drinks were ridiculously long, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and not capable of handling the number of attendees. Additionally, the activities and attractions were lackluster and definitely not worth the price of admission. Overall, I would not recommend attending this event if you're looking for a fun and enjoyable Halloween experience.
2. Mike - 2 stars
I attended Gardner Village Witches Night Out in 2023 and was less than impressed. The event seemed more focused on commercializing Halloween rather than providing a true Halloween-themed experience. The majority of the activities consisted of shopping at the various stores within the village, which was not what I was expecting. The lines for the few attractions available were incredibly long, and I spent a significant amount of time waiting rather than enjoying the event. I left feeling underwhelmed and won't be attending again.
3. Emily - 2 stars
The Gardner Village Witches Night Out in 2023 was a letdown. The whole event felt disorganized and chaotic. There were too many people packed into a small space, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. The performances and shows were mediocre at best, and the costumes and decorations were lackluster. The event also lacked a variety of activities and attractions, leaving me bored and unengaged. I expected a more magical and immersive Halloween experience, but unfortunately, Gardner Village Witches Night Out did not deliver.
