Revel in the magic of Spellbound at the Garden, a 21+ nighttime experience under the stars, October 16–19.
Festifall is included with Garden admission. Special events may require separate tickets.
Proudly sponsored by First Horizon Bank.
Spellbound at the Garden is a thoughtfully curated autumn nighttime experience designed for adults (21+), blending gentle intrigue with the cozy charm of fall. Set along softly lit paths of the Garden after dark, guests are invited to stroll at their own pace through story-like, atmospheric scenes that invite you to pause, linger, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the season.
Join the Scarecrow Trail, one of the Garden’s most beloved Festifall traditions! Each year, families, schools, businesses, and organizations from across our community bring their creativity to life, crafting the funniest, cutest, or creepiest scarecrows imaginable, celebrating the spirit of Fall.
This year, our photo-worthy trail takes on the enchanting theme: Witchy Woodlands. As you wander the Garden paths, you’ll encounter a forest full of whimsical witches, woodland creatures, and spellbinding surprises, each scarecrow telling its own unique story.
This trail is a part of Festifall, proudly sponsored by First Horizon Bank.
Included in Garden Admission.
