WitchFest at Gardner Village

Where WitchFest happens

The Prestige Salt Lake is an independently operated theatre and dinner-show venue at Gardner Village, taking part in the village-wide WitchFest season.

Gardner Village has marked the season since 2000, and it has grown into one of Utah’s best-known autumn traditions: witches posed across the grounds, photograph stops at nearly every turn, and a village of shops, boutiques and restaurants open around them.

Inside our doors: our stage, our performers, our kitchen and your reserved seating.

WitchFest runs September 18 – October 31, 2026.

Around the village

Make a day of it

Plan the day around your showtime. Everything in this list is operated by Gardner Village — check their guide for hours, dates and any ticketing.

  • The witch displays

    Hundreds of posed witches set across the grounds, added to every year. Free to walk, and best in daylight before an evening show.

  • Photo stops

    The village is built for photographs during the season, from the cottages to the bridges to the lanes between the shops.

  • Shopping and boutiques

    Independent shops across the village, most open through the afternoon and into the early evening.

  • Village season events

    Scavenger hunts, evening events and the village's own ticketed activities run on their own schedule and sell out early.

  • Eat before or after

    Village restaurants plus our own seasonal kitchen inside the theatre — see the menu above.

Before you come

Plan your WitchFest visit

Getting here, parking, arrival times and the details guests ask us most during the season.

Where we are

The Prestige Salt Lake

1100 West 7800 South #18A, West Jordan, Utah 84088, USA

Getting here

The Prestige Salt Lake is located at 1100 West 7800 South #18A, West Jordan, Utah 84088, inside Gardner Village. Rideshare drop-off and pick-up should use the Gardner Village entrance nearest suite 18A. Allow additional travel time during Gardner Village seasonal events.

Parking

Parking is available throughout Gardner Village and is generally complimentary. Gardner Village may charge for parking on select high-demand or seasonal dates. During major events such as WitchFest, allow additional time for parking and arrival.

Arrival & check-in

Please plan to be in the check-in line approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled experience time. For dinner performances, doors open approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled seating time — a 7:15 PM seating opens at approximately 7:00 PM — and dinner then follows a timed service sequence. For timed daytime experiences, be in the check-in line about 15 minutes before the scheduled start; a 2:00 PM performance means check-in by approximately 1:45 PM. Check-in is by name; your confirmation email is all you need.

Accessibility

The Prestige is accessible to guests with mobility needs, and our team is happy to assist with reasonable accommodations. If you have a specific seating or accessibility need, contact Guest Services before your visit so our team can prepare appropriately. Restrooms are located outside The Prestige room but within the same building.

Children & age

All ages are welcome. Children must be supervised and able to enjoy the experience without disrupting other guests. Some performances — particularly seasonal presentations — may include theatrical, mysterious, dark or startling content. Parents and guardians should use discretion with younger children. Individual productions may publish additional age guidance, which takes precedence where it appears on the production page.

Photography & recording

Guests may take personal photographs of the venue where permitted. Photography, audio recording and video recording during the performance are prohibited unless specifically authorized, to protect performers' material and avoid disrupting other guests.
