About the experience
What can I expect from the event?
Step into a world where pumpkins come to life! This fall, journey into the glowing heart of Halloween at Pumpkins After Dark — an enchanting nighttime trail where over 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins light up the night in dazzling displays of art, imagination, and seasonal wonder.
