BanjerDan returns to Filoli Nightfall!
“By day, Filoli is a house frozen in elegance. By night, it's frozen in something else entirely.
Wander into a Halloween harvest party in the Meadow, pumpkins, music, firelight, and slowly notice the mansion behind you isn't quite right. Something has taken root inside. Follow the trail of clues through a house reclaimed by nature, into a glowing woodland, and all the way to a witch's hidden village, where a century-old enchantment is finally coming undone.
New this year:
• A spectacularly spooky and enchanting miniature train display with 1,000 feet of track and eight looping trains.
• Giant witches’ cauldron
• The Witches’ grove
• Even more eery pumpkin scarecrows
• This is Nightfall: one story, told across an entire estate.”
