Lumagica Holiday Light Experience At Harvest Moon Farm Now Open

NORTH SALEM, NY — Now that apple-picking and pumpkin patch season is over, Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard will once again transform into an enchanted forest, and this year's Lumagica spectacular holiday trail is even longer with several new and brilliant displays.

The natural rolling landscape of the orchard is a perfect canvas to tell immersive stories in brilliant colors that bring a warm glow to the farm. The bustling property will be filled with over 750,000 lights, whimsical creatures and a few special surprises. The more than half-mile-long trail will take visitors on a journey through six magical spaces: Sparkling Light, Into the Wonderland, Magical Trees, A Great Celebration, Treats and Sweets, and Beyond the Forest.

Highlights of this year's Lumagica include an illuminated 20-foot-tall reindeer and an enormous soaring parrot. Bring your camera because there will be plenty of photo ops as you wind your way through light tunnels all timed to a musical performance.

To get into the spirit of the holidays, visitors can grab a warm drink and an illuminated wand on their way in to begin the trail. And yes, there will be cider doughnuts. At the end of the trail, visitors will be greeted by fire pits, with hot food and seasonal drinks available for purchase.

Lumagica opened Friday, November 18 and will run through Friday, December 30, from 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. It will also run Jan. 6 - Jan. 8. Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard is located at 130 Hardscrabble Road in North Salem. The walk-through experience is estimated to take 45 minutes to an hour and is one of 30 Lumagica parks around the world. Tickets are free for children 3 and under and range from $28 and up depending upon the date and time selected. Parking is free.
