UPDATE:  DUE TO EXPECTED INCLEMENT WEATHER, PHANTASMA HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 9-11, 2025.

Phantasma will create a world of wonder for all ages on THURSDAY and FRIDAY NIGHT, April 24 and 25. This multi-sensory installation is free to join, but we ask that you reserve your spot at your preferred time.

During your dedicated hour-long experience, you'll enjoy a mesmerizing laser light show and dance along with a silent disco surrounded by the beauty of the Lower Ramble. Three DJs curated by Her Set Her Sound will be on three different channels for you to choose a variety of sounds to dance to while the lights move around you. Headphones are provided, but not necessary to enjoy the light show and music.

Food and drink will be available for purchase at the Lower Ramble entrance on West Ave. You can also utilize the City's Open Refreshment Area (ORA) and grab an adult beverage at a nearby business beforehand to take with you to enjoy. 

AND NEW THIS YEAR!! On Saturday, April 26th, the lasers and DJs will move to the newly completed Upper Ramble for a totally different Phantasmic experience. This Glow Party will be from 7 to 10pm and is also free for all ages to participate. A lineup of DJs will be playing during the evening with dance music for everyone to enjoy under the flashing laser light show. No reservations required, open to all!

Don't miss out on this FREE event in the heart of the city brought to you by Downtown Fayetteville Coalition and the City of Fayetteville Arts & Culture. The Ramble is fully accessible and all ages are invited to join!
