“Since the first event we did at Leu Gardens, our audiences have been asking for a Halloween experience,” Cole NeSmith, founder and creative director of Creative City Project, said in a release.  “We’re so grateful to finally be able to bring not just one, but two exciting shows to life this fall.  Our team has put something together that we know is going to be so fun for every one of our guests.  Whether it’s a fun night out with the family or a chance to gather with friends, I’m so grateful that - once again - we can bring our community together for these totally unique, artful and enjoyable Halloween shows!”

Happy Frights will be an all-age, family-friendly trick-or-treat adventure through 12 immersive worlds. Guests will be able to meet a dancing bridge troll, walk through a sunflower garden, explore a light maze, climb up a pyramid and so much more.

There will also be eight trick-or-treat stations to visit throughout the journey.
