Holiday World introducing new ‘Friday Night Live!’ event

SANTA CLAUS, Ind. (WFIE) – Holiday World is introducing a new event on National Roller Coaster Day.

According to a release, ‘Friday Night Live!’ will begin next week.

Officials say the event will feature live music, drink specials and night rides on Holiday World’s roller coasters and major attractions.

It will run every Friday beginning on August 16 until August 30.

Park officials say they will be celebrating the first day by turning off the mid-course trims on the Voyage, giving riders a slightly faster ride in the dark.

One of the highlights of Friday Night Live! will be the live bands.

We’re told Happy New Day, an Evansville cover band, will have themed nights for the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s near Plymouth on the Rocks. Backwoods Bluegrass will be performing at the Hoosier Celebration Theater in the Fourth of July section.

Officials say the Friday Night Live! event is open to all Season Pass types and Any Day tickets. Tickets for the event are available online for $25; tickets purchased onsite are $30.

Splashin’ Safari will not be open during Friday Night Live!, and children’s attractions will be limited.

Guests are encouraged to check HolidayWorld.com to see all updates to the 2024 Calendar.
