Get ready for spooky fun as Fright Fest returns to Six Flags this year

👻 Fright Fest returns to Six Flags Great Adventure this Friday

👻 This year features brand new scare zones and returning mazes

👻 Fright Fest ends Nov. 2

JACKSON — Fall will soon be upon us. That means apples, pumpkins, sweaters, bonfires, colorful leaves, and the return of Six Flags Great Adventure’s Fright Fest.

The season’s biggest Halloween celebration begins Friday, Sept. 12, running select nights through Nov. 2 at the Jackson theme park.

During the day, families can enjoy Kids Boo Fest (Saturdays and Sundays only), filled with activities, games, and shows that are not scary, but certainly fun for the young goblins. There will also be seasonal treats, beverages, and candy for young trick-or-treaters.

Plus, don’t forget the rides! They will be open and ready to go for this bone-chilling adventure.
