With Busch Gardens’ current event Summer Nights rapidly approaching its end on July 29, we wanted to take a few minutes to prep you for all the awesome events Busch Gardens Williamsburg has scheduled for the remainder of 2021.

First up, one of our favorite events, Busch Gardens Bier Fest is bigger than ever this year, returning weekends from July 30-September 6. During this event, you can enjoy different kinds of beer throughout the park, attend speaking events with different breweries, and maybe even get a sneak peek at some of the decorations as they start going up for Howl-o-Scream.

Speaking of Howl-O-Scream, it’s back! Select nights from September 12 – October 31, Halloween Night. Yes, Howl-O-Scream is returning this year, an adult-focused Halloween event that’s included with park admission. This year, Busch Gardens promises new and returning haunted houses and scare zones, as well as thrill rides in the dark, live shows, and special drinks and bars. Full event details aren’t yet released, but you know we’ll be sharing our Howl-O-Scream guide once they are!

If you or your kids lean a little less scary, but still want some theme park Halloween fun, The Count’s Spooktacular runs Saturdays and Sundays during the daytime from September 25 – October 31.This family-friendly Halloween event in the Sesame Street Forest of Fun area of the park features kid events such as a costume party, free trick or treating, and other family-friendly Halloween activities.

Date-specific tickets and dining passes are now on sale at buschgardens.com. If you’re a Busch Gardens member, these events are included in your membership, though obviously food and beverage are sold separately.

Finally, starting November 19, and running until January 2^nd, Busch Gardens’ Christmas Town returns this year, featuring millions of lights, festive shows, holiday-inspired food and drink offerings and, of course, Santa Claus! More information, and tickets, will be revealed about this event closer to time.
