Conner Prairie Headless Horseman Festival

The Headless Horseman Festival brings the classic tale of Ichabod Crane to life at this interactive historic site. Families can expect costumed performers, spooky storytelling, and Halloween-themed activities set in an atmospheric 19th-century village setting. It's a theatrical, moderately scary experience—thrilling for kids who enjoy mild frights and folklore, but not intensely frightening. Expect to walk around, encounter characters, and soak in the autumnal, eerie mood that makes the legend feel real.
