- Time: 4:00 - 9:30 p.m.
What’s the most enchanting, nostalgic and fantastical Halloween adventure? It’s The Henry Ford’s Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village, Michigan's premier outdoor October celebration.
From harvest markets and fall themes to costumed storybook characters and ghostly performances, our Hallowe’en tradition is one of a kind, showcased within the bewitching setting of Greenfield Village after hours.
Hosted over 16 evenings in October, Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village is formatted for guests to stroll through the village at their own pace, picking and choosing their own festive or frightful experience.
Harvest-themed activities from the 18th and 19th centuries are included in the program's daytime hours for a family-friendly fall atmosphere that transitions to traditional Hallowe’en spookiness as twilight falls.
A must-see addition to your evening, the Hallowe’en Express will return to its haunted tracks by popular demand, taking riders along a ghoulish and surprising journey through Greenfield Village. Tickets for the Hallowe’en Express are available to purchase online for a small additional fee.
We are committed to creating a magical Hallowe’en experience for our members, friends and fans, and we invite you to join us for another year of Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village.
