Festival Fright Nights (2026)
The year is 1926, and something has awakened at the Winchester estate
WELCOME TO FESTIVAL FRIGHT NIGHTS. The year is 1926, and something has awakened at the Winchester estate. Following Sarah Winchester's death, the mansion and grounds seem to pulse with new energy as Festival Fright Nights brings the entire estate to life through four immersive festival zones featuring 13 attractions and experiences—including haunted houses inside the historic mansion, eerie entertainment, photo ops, seasonal food and drink offerings, and mysterious encounters hidden throughout the grounds. Our festival format allows you to pick and choose from a variety of attractions from traditional haunted houses inside the notoriously haunted Winchester Mystery House to theatrical, seated experiences like Harry Houdini presents "Do Spirits Exist?". Tickets available exclusively online.
