PITTSBURGH, PA (October 19, 2026) – Kennywood has announced an all-new Phantom Fall Fest Drone Show, taking to the sky above the park’s fog-covered Lagoon on Saturday, October 24, at 10:15 p.m. The special Halloween-themed show will feature 500 drones and lasers bringing some of Kennywood’s most iconic rides, characters and haunted attractions to life in a spectacular nighttime display.

Drone shows have become a guest favorite at Kennywood, and this special Phantom Fall Fest edition adds another reason to visit during the final weekends of the park’s Halloween event, which runs through November 1.

Recently named the No. 4 Best Theme Park Halloween Event in the country by USA TODAY 10BEST, Phantom Fall Fest offers a mix of family-friendly daytime activities, seasonal food and drinks, haunted attractions and classic Kennywood thrills.

Additional Phantom Fall Fest highlights include:

• Halloween Weekend Trick-or-Treating: With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, families can celebrate with daytime trick-or-treating along Kennywood’s Trick-or-Treat Trail and other family-friendly fall activities before the nighttime scares begin.
• The Fall Fest Tasting Experience: Guests can taste their way around the Lagoon with seasonal food and drinks at five tasting locations throughout the park. Highlights include fall-inspired favorites and savory bites, offering a delicious way to celebrate the season.
• Haunted Attractions and Thrilling Rides: After dark, Phantom Fall Fest brings seven haunted attractions, four scare zones and more than 30 rides to life.
