Wagner Farm Arboretum Foundation hosts the popular Brite Nites event, which features fun themes, impressive displays, and carved pumpkins. The event includes a spaceship scene built by a contractor, and a kiddie area with carnival games like corn hole. It’s especially enjoyed by families with young children, offering a nice atmosphere and decorations suitable for kids aged 9 and younger. Visitors appreciate the well-done displays, with highlights such as carved pumpkins and skeletons, and some mention the food trucks serving great burgers and pumpkin shakes. The event is a good local alternative to larger displays and helps support the arboretum through ticket sales. Though it can be crowded, with parking sometimes tricky after rain, many find it to be a fun, well-organized experience that has been enjoyed by families for years.
