The Art of Halloween

What is Pumpkin Nights?

Pumpkin Nights is where Halloween becomes art. We set out to create a different kind of fall experience—one that skips the scares in favor of creativity and wonder. Your journey follows a half-mile path through nine immersive pumpkin lands, from the fiery Forbidden City to the electric underwater world of Neon Reef, with larger-than-life installations built from over 10,000 hand-carved and custom-designed pumpkins.

The experience continues in Pumpkin Village, the heart of the festival — festive food, our live fire show, and games for the whole family. It's a fun night out for everyone, and your new Halloween tradition.

Getting there

The Farm

The trail is grass, loose dirt, gravel, and sand with some inclines. Light strollers manage fine; wheelchairs have proven difficult. Farms get muddy after rain — wear shoes that can take it, and bring bug spray on warm nights.

The Weather

We stay open through minor rain. If lightning or heavy rain forces a closure, tickets automatically move to a new date — you'll get an email within 24 hours with options to switch nights.

The Fine Print

Tickets are non-refundable. Transfers to another night are allowed up to 48 hours before your time slot — $5 per ticket, subject to availability, no refunds when moving to a cheaper night. Buy only at pumpkinnights.com.
