GARF After Dark
Five nights. Five worlds. One village under the stars.
On select nights this fall, the Georgia Renaissance Festival village opens for an entirely different experience. GARF After Dark is a five-night, 21+ nighttime event near Atlanta featuring themed worlds, premium cocktails, a headline DJ, live music, fire and aerial performance, hookah lounges, and The Legend of the Headless Horseman under the stars. A rider loses his head before your eyes — and then rides again. Trick props, mounted stunt work, theatrical combat, and a Fire Sword finale bring The Legend of the Headless Horseman to life under the night sky. An original theatrical joust, performed every night of the series.
Guests can expect:
Fantasy music built for a torch-lit crowd
Folk-rock and tavern sing-along energy
Live band with belly dancing and fire-veiled spectacle
Roaming fire-juggling comedy from the Official Jester of Muncaster Castle
Aerialists, contortionists, stilt performers, and specialty acts appearing throughout the village
