It is coming to parking lot 6 of Square One beginning August 6 and will run Thursdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. until September 6.

Fresh off a successful run in Los Angeles, Sugar Rush is designed for families and friends who to enjoy a light-hearted and festive atmosphere as they walk through the displays of oversized candy creations that will be set up for both day and night viewing.

As part of the package, candy is included in the price with the option to purchase more along the way.

Ticket prices are $24.99 each with a four-pack available for $85. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
