Conner Prairie Headless Horseman Festival

The Headless Horseman Festival brings the classic autumn legend to life with a Halloween-themed celebration perfect for families seeking seasonal fun. Expect a mix of spooky activities, entertainment, and attractions inspired by Washington Irving's iconic tale—think haunted experiences scaled for family enjoyment rather than intense scares. Conner Prairie's living-history setting makes it an ideal backdrop for this festive event, offering photo ops, interactive elements, and the kind of playful fright that gets kids (and adults) in the Halloween spirit without nightmares.
