Kings Dominion has announced its fall 2024 lineup with three events: Halloween Haunt, Tricks and Treats (new), and Oktoberfest (new). All events are included with the cost of park admission.

“With the addition of Tricks and Treats and Oktoberfest to our lineup of fall events, we’re able to offer unforgettable memories our guests,” said Bridgett Bywater vice president and general manager of Kings Dominion. “With one ticket, you can enjoy the best of the season with family-friendly experiences during the day and frights at night.”

Halloween Haunt 2024 (Weekends September 20 – November 3)

Halloween Haunt will feature a new maze based on a fictional horror convention called MonsterCon.

Something has gone grotesquely wrong during the opening day of a horror convention! Attendees expected to see exhibits and revel in the excitement of all things horror, but the monsters on the exhibit floor have somehow come to life and banded together to ensure that no one will make it out alive.

The new maze will join an existing lineup of returning mazes, scare zones, and entertainment.

The newest maze joins the lineup of five other mazes: F.E.A.R.; CornStalkers: Blood Harvest; Trick or Treat; Blood on the Bayou, and GrimmWoods, and the returning scare zones: Masquerade; Uprising; Cleaver Brothers Carnival; Site X; and Pumpkin Eater for nighttime entertainment that’s a total scream.
Live entertainment accompanies the mazes and scare zones with returning favorites like Conjure the Night, Black Widow Burlesque and Big Top Band.

Live entertainment includes a dance party full of funky Halloween tracks from DJ Knuckles at the Skelebration! Dance Party. Guests can also participate in a costume contest where kids and parents can parade their way to the stage for prizes from the host in the categories of most original, cutest, and scariest costumes. Guests can also get in the spirit of the season with mask making, a pumpkin decorating station and a trick or treat trail. There will also be plenty of midway games to play where everybody wins.
