How does nobody know this exists in Kansas City?

You walk a mile through the woods at night while dancers, aerialists, fire performers and otherworldly creatures emerge from the darkness. The lighting. The music. The energy. Absolutely unreal.

Dark Forest at Powell Gardens might be the sexiest, strangest and coolest October experience in KC.

Send this to the person you want to disappear into the forest with 🖤🌲

Remaining nights: October 23, 24, 30 and 31

Dark Forest returns for weekend 2 of mystery, magic, and the unexpected.

Tonight, we begin with ADULTS-ONLY NIGHT—an invitation to wander deeper, embrace the darkness, and discover what awaits beyond the familiar.

As night falls, the forest awakens. Strange encounters, mesmerizing performances, and otherworldly sights await those curious enough to enter.

Things get a little weird in the woods after dark. 👀🌙

@darkforestkc at @powellgardens was SO good! @quixoticfusion never disappoints with their creativity and talent. Between the incredible performances, mysterious characters and a few unexpected scares, they really know how to put on a show!

Only TWO weekends left, and trust me, it’s worth the 40-minute drive from KC!
