Pirate Party Weekend – Oct. 15-16 is the weekend for all things pirate! Bert and Ernie lead the pirate party, and guests can turn their hands to arts and crafts, dance to the music, and explore the hay maze, as well as taking part in park-wide trick-or-treating.

Halloween Weekend – Oct. 20-30 is the big weekend when Sesame Street pals are ready for a not-so-spooky time! It’s all about trick-or-treating through the park, showing off costumes in a kid-friendly parade, and dancing the evening away. Photo ops, arts and crafts, and the hay maze are part of the fun, too.

While daytime is filled with friendly “frights,” nights at Busch Gardens Williamsburg are definitely for the 13-and-up crowd as Howl-O-Scream returns to the park on select dates from Sept. 9-Oct. 31, 2022.

The horror-ific annual event includes three new haunted houses and three new terror-tories this year, bringing the event’s total to five houses, five terror-tories, and four frightening shows. Parental discretion is advised due to the intensity of the event’s scare factor.
