Holiday World is launching Friday Night Live! this week, offering guests a chance to enjoy live music, “night rides” on coasters and major attractions, and more. The event will take place on the remaining three Fridays of August from 5-10 p.m.
The first day of the event, August 16, is also National Roller Coaster Day. The park will be celebrating by turning off the mid-course “trims” on The Voyage, which is consistently voted one of the top wooden roller coasters in the world.
“If you haven’t experienced The Voyage at night, it’s truly beyond words,” said Leah Koch-Blumhardt, fourth-generation owner and director of communications. “We hope some of our local enthusiasts will come out to help us celebrate National Roller Coaster Day in style.”
One of the highlights of Friday Night Live! will be the bands. 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.
“Friday Night Live! is the perfect way to kick off the weekend,” said Lauren Crosby, fourth-generation owner and director of entertainment and events. “Between the live music, incredible night rides, and drink specials, this event is tailored for a fun date night or a night out with friends at Holiday World.”
The events are open to all Season Pass types and Any Day Tickets. Tickets for the event are available online for $25; tickets purchased on site are $30.
Guests are encouraged to visit HolidayWorld.com to see hours, updates, and more information about the remainder of the 2024 season.
