HOW IT ALL BEGAN
The Gardner Village witches have cast the greatest of spells on our community. Since these cackling cuties first landed in The Village back in 2000, WitchFest has become a captivating tradition for families and friends during the Halloween season.
This snapshot, taken in the early years of WitchFest, features Lucinda the Witch and Joe Long, Gardner Village co-owner. Up to no good, no doubt!
All of the hocus pocus that makes up today’s WitchFest started simply in 2000 as Witches Night Out. Guests were encouraged to wear whimsical witchhats and enjoy bewitching wonder along luminary-lined pathways. The evening’s activities included a DJ with music, a fortune teller, food, entertainment, and Gardner Village shopping sprees and giveaways. Hundreds of women showed up as playful and whimsical witches, ready to enjoy a ladies’ night out.
Over the years, WitchFest has evolved from this one-evening event into a weeks-long celebration of whimsy, with events and attractions from mid-September to Halloween each year.
Of course, the key to all of this hocus pocus is YOU. Your energy, your smiles, your laughter, your delight in it all… This is what keeps our witches coming back year after year. It puts the spring in our local shop owners’ steps. It puts Gardner Village on the map as THE Halloween destination in Utah. What a treat your sweet tricks have turned out to be!

A LOOK BACK AT LUCINDA
While much about WitchFest has changed over the years, there has been a pretty wonderful constant from the beginning — Lucinda the Witch! She originally joined this brouhaha as an emcee at Witches Night Out and a witch who took you on a horse-drawn carriage ride telling stories. Today, she’s the “spokeswitch” for Gardner Village. It’s never a dull moment thanks to the wacky ways of Lucinda and her Gardner Village fellow witches. They cast an extra magical spell on the enchantment.
More importantly, Lucinda’s work over the years has included coordinating numerous charitable opportunities for Gardner Village witches, including visits to Primary Children’s Hospital, trips to local schools (where they read with local children and participate in assemblies on Halloween safety), Halloween costume drives for underprivileged children, and more. Thank you, Lucinda and all the Gardner Village witches who’ve dawned witch hats for Gardner Village through the years. We love your hearts and the difference you make!
NOWHERE BUT UP
While this year has had more than its share of tricks up its sleeve, we aren’t letting it put a damper our 20-year WitchFest celebration. It simply means we’ve made a few updates to our fun, including a touchless scavenger hunt, six feet of space (i.e. the length of Lucinda’s broomstick) between our witches and yours, and the addition of masks to the witchy fashion show that is Gardner Village this time of year.

Raise your goblets, glasses, and cauldrons, friends. This toast was 20 years in the making. Together, we’ve had one wild ride, haven’t we? From dance parties and shopping sprees to tasty treats and ample witchy entertainment, WitchFest has been a celebration of friendship and time together and family and tradition. It’s a break from the ordinary to enjoy the zany and extraordinary. It’s a highlight of our year at Gardner Village because it’s spent with YOU. Year after year, our witches land and you show up, making this the happiest Halloween haunt in town. Thank you, sincerely, for bringing the heart to our fest. On this, our 20 th anniversary, we witch you a VERY merry WitchFest 2020!
