Garden After Dark Is Back!

This fall, we’re excited to reintroduce Garden After Dark, the original name of our beloved fall festival at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum. While BOOtanical  brought years of Halloween fun and playful charm, returning to the original name lets us honor our roots and open the door to new creative possibilities. With more than 25 years of history, Garden After Dark  holds a special place in the hearts of many. This revival invites us to rediscover the magic of fall nights in the Garden and to shape a new tradition, rooted in nature and lit by imagination.

While Halloween remains at the heart of Garden After Dark, the event has evolved into a one-of-a-kind experience only Red Butte Garden and Arboretum could create, featuring immersive storytelling, atmospheric lighting, and original artistic scenes designed especially for our landscape.

This year’s theme, Trouble in Oz, invites guests of all ages on a glowing adventure through a shadowed Land of Oz, filled with color, mystery, and imaginative twists. It’s a return to our roots and a leap into a tradition where wonder, imagination, and the spirit of the season come alive after dark.
