Welcome to Wagner Farm Arboretum Foundation's Brite Nites 2020 Fundraiser Drive-Thru Edition!

****** NEW EVENT DATES AND SESSION TIMES HAVE BEEN ADDED ******

Returning for a 9th year, Wagner Farm Arboretum's spectacular Halloween-themed event "Brite Nites" showcases an elaborate display of intricately and creatively hand-carved and lighted pumpkins. These breathtaking pumpkin sculptures have been updated with new themes, LED bulbs, and new special effects. New for 2020 will be a tribute to our first responders and essential workers. Due to Covid-19 precautions, the event has turned 100% contactless and you will be able to buy your ticket online, queue up for your time slot, have your ticket scanned, and then enjoy the displays as you drive down the Pumpkin Path. The anticipated amount of time to get through the path is about 15 minutes. More importantly, you get to safely remain in your vehicle, at all times.

About Wagner Farm Arboretum: Established in 2004 as a non-profit organization, the Arboretum seeks to enrich, educate and inspire the community by increasing environmental awareness and recreational opportunities. Our programs include; The Giving Project where produce is sown, grown and harvested in the Giving Garden, Coddington Farm Garden, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension Farms in Pittstown, NJ and then donated to area food pantries; the WFA Community Garden; and the Children's Garden. Our volunteers make all of this possible with very little financial support from the township.
