No upcoming date/times for this event.


Welcome to Wagner Farm Arboretum Foundation's Brite Nites 2022 Fundraiser!


Returning for an 11th 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.


By popular demand, Brite Nites has returned to a Walk Thru format! There will also be a Drive Thru option for those who prefer to view the displays from the comfort of their vehicle.


We know that inflation has made the cost of everything increase this year and that can be very tough. That is why we are PLEASED to announce that our Drive Thru ticket prices are the same as last year, AND that our Walk Thru prices are the same as they were in 2019!!!!


Admission: Ticket prices for the Drive Thru event are $35 per Passenger Vehicle, and $50 for Buses and Vans. No discounts are available. Tickets may be purchased online up to that session time, however, you will not be allowed to queue up for a session unless you have a valid ticket to be scanned. Anyone arriving more than 15 minutes early will be asked to return closer to the purchased session time. There will be no parking area provided on site. The nearest parking is 2-3 minutes away. The approximate amount of time to wait in the queue is 10-15 minutes.


Ticket prices for the Walk Thru event are $15 for those 13-61, $10 for seniors 62+ and children 5-12. Children under 5 are free.


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.

Some Notes: the walking path is .25 mile on a gravel roadway. The gravel is not well suited to baby strollers, but wagons with bigger wheels, like garden carts, might work better. There are NO food trucks this year, but there will be light snacks, hot chocolate and water available for purchase on site.
