Together, we'll Rock the World
In just two days we plan to keep the deer and raccoons up a little later than usual.
... it's our first Rock the World concert.
For a complete line-up of the regional bands which will perform during the day in our Hoosier Celebration Theater (in our 4th of July), please check the day's schedule.
Of course, both parks will have rides and slides going during regular park hours.
And toward the end of the afternoon, wristband-wearing concert-goers will head to the Main Stage area at the northeast corner of the park (head to Pilgrims Plunge and then follow the signs).
Here's what the Main Stage will look like:
The six hours of Main Stage performances will begin with our own Rejoice! singers:
... followed by Cincinnati's Mosteller, Paducah's Hearts of Saints, BarlowGirl, Tenth Avenue North and then our headliner:
Jeremy Camp.
Here's a sneak peek:
Jeremy Camp is a native Hoosier and is a Grammy-nominated Christian rock artist.
Check here for more information and to order park and concert tickets.
Hope you can join us!

Auditions for 'Graveyard Smash' - our new Halloween show
Have you heard we're launching Happy Halloween Weekends in October?
In addition to rides, Holidog's 3D Halloween Adventure, a trick or treat trail, hay rides, tractor rides, and incredible corn mazes (okay, so we'll use any excuse to post this photo) ...
... we will also have themed entertainment.
Enter our new show: Graveyard Smash.
This family-friendly show will feature popular tunes with some fun new lyrics and lots of high-energy dancing.
Are you up for it? Auditions are Sunday, August 26, from 1pm to 4pm CT in Holiday World's Employee Services building (the big red building off of State Road 162 on the east side of the park).
Here's what you need to know:
- We're looking for singers and dancers with lots of energy
- We plan to cast five male and five female singers/dancers plus some "streetmosphere" entertainers
- Rehearsals begin Labor Day Weekend
- Performances are weekends in October
- Please prepare a two-minute upbeat tune to sing (we'll provide a CD player)
- Dress comfortably - we'll teach you a group dance number
Have we scared you away yet? Of course not! Auditions are fun and relaxing, right?
Oh, and when you get to our door ... be sure to tell them Boris sent you!

What in the World?
Just because our daily season is nearing the end (we're open daily through August 19, then weekends-only), doesn't mean the work slows down.
These guys are working hard on something.
So what is this?
If you can figure out what they're building and where, you could win two one-day tickets for this season.
Regular rules apply: No employees or immediate family of employees; must be 13 or older.
Got a good guess? Email it to us: contest@HolidayWorld.com.
The first person to correctly guess what they're building and where they're building it wins!
