The Wesselman Nature Society (WNS) is growing something new this October for seasonal family fun. Harvest Festival and Hayrides at Wesselman Woods will be an opportunity for families and friends to enjoy the high point of our colorful fall season in Evansville’s most pristine forested area.
As our visitors arrive, they will park their car and hop onto a hayride through Wesselman Park and to the Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve. As you hop off of the wagon and enter the Nature Preserve, you are welcomed to a one of a kind family festival featuring seasonal activities such as leaf rubbing, live animal encounters, crafts, an autumn campfire, stargazing, guided hikes and more. Dinner will also be available for purchase. Meanwhile, hayrides will continually circle the park for those who just want to relax and soak up the Halloween-themed scenery. In short, the Harvest Festival will be an experience that you will not soon forget!
