Visit Fort Wayne and three major local attraction partners are teaming up on a new bundled ticket designed to make the city’s holiday lights season more affordable and easier to plan for families and visitors.

According to an official announcement from Visit Fort Wayne, a new Fort Wayne Light Fest Combo Ticket will package admission to three of the city’s best-known seasonal light attractions into one offer. The ticket is expected to cover Blue Jacket Fantasy of Lights, Fort Wayne Zoo Wild Lights and Holiday Lights, giving buyers one convenient way to experience multiple holiday events during the season.

The tourism bureau said leaders from Visit Fort Wayne, the Fort Wayne Zoo, the Fort Wayne TinCaps and Blue Jacket will formally unveil the offer during a press conference on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the lobby of Visit Fort Wayne at 927 S. Harrison Street, Suite 101, Fort Wayne. The bundled ticket is described as being valid for any day that each participating event is open.

Holiday partnership built around value and flexibility

For travellers and local families alike, the initiative reflects a growing focus on packaged attractions and seasonal value offers. Visit Fort Wayne said the partnership is intended to help residents and visitors experience more of the city’s holiday programme while adding savings and flexibility across the season.

The collaboration also brings together several of Fort Wayne’s better-known visitor brands. Blue Jacket’s Fantasy of Lights has long been part of the city’s holiday calendar, while Wild Lights at the Fort Wayne Zoo and Holiday Lights associated with the TinCaps and Parkview Field broaden the city’s festive appeal through animal-themed and walk-through light experiences.

Media event to outline tourism goals

Visit Fort Wayne said attending media will be able to hear directly from Jill Boggs, President and CEO of Visit Fort Wayne; Rick Schuiteman, Executive Director and CEO of the Fort Wayne Zoo; Mike Nutter, President of the Fort Wayne TinCaps; and Tony Hudson, CEO of Blue Jacket. Interview opportunities and photo opportunities with event partners and holiday mascots are planned after the announcement.

The event is also expected to underline the wider tourism logic behind the package: turning multiple stand-alone attractions into a coordinated seasonal draw that can strengthen visitor spending, encourage repeat outings and add momentum to Fort Wayne’s winter leisure offer.
