After a year’s absence, America’s longest-running antique car show, Old Car Festival powered by Hagerty, returns to Greenfield Village, September 11-12. This year’s event celebrates Women at the Wheel, showcasing how early automobiles supported women in making inroads in American life. At this time, member reservations are not required.

Beginning October 7th and taking place during select evenings in October, Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village continues its 2020 format, allowing guests to stroll the event at their own pace.

The popular Hallowe’en Express, also introduced last year, is back for more thrills and chills in 2021. Member tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 1st with public tickets on sale the week after on Wednesday, September 8th.
