Holiday World is keeping summer alive with two fresh after-hours experiences launching this week—Thursday Night Bites and Friday Night Live! Both events offer a $25 ticket when purchased online and deliver an evening filled with thrills on the park’s signature rides, refreshing drink specials, and live entertainment.
Thursday Night Bites, held only on August 21 and 28, extends the park’s new Summer Wine’d Down food and wine festival. Each $25 ticket includes one complimentary Summer Wine’d Down food item, redeemable at any open restaurant in the park. Season Passholders can also enjoy $5 off a single festival menu item each evening. From 4:30 to 9:00 p.m., guests will find an entertainment lineup as varied as the food itself—ranging from the high-flying Nerveless Nocks stunt show to Wild & Wacky Magic with Don Baggett and live piano melodies by Jeffrey Bowen.
Friday Night Live! returns by popular demand beginning August 22 and running every Friday through October 24. With rides open from 5 to 10 p.m., guests can enjoy a mix of music, comedy, and magic throughout the season. Acts include Happy New Month, Cornfield Mafia, Aura Ray and Sean Noel, Out of Hand Comedy Juggling with Matt Jergens, and the Magic of the Night show with Don Baggett. It’s the perfect mix of entertainment for couples looking for a date night or families wanting a late-summer adventure.
“Our August weeknight lineup delivers outstanding value for everyone,” says Matt Eckert, Holiday World’s President & CEO. “Friday Night Live! is an awesome date night, but families love the event as well. Thursday Night Bites is a fun way to break up these early weeks back to school—with a free tasting, fun entertainment, and thrilling rides, it’s a great way to hold onto summer just a little longer.”
Looking ahead, Happy Halloween Weekends return September 20 through October 26, featuring a brand-new theme and extended hours on October 11, 18, and 25.
Tickets for Thursday Night Bites, Friday Night Live!, and Summer Wine’d Down are available now at HolidayWorld.com. Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari will now be open weekends and select weeknights only, with Splashin’ Safari operating Saturdays and Sundays through September 13.
