During the month of October, you can walk the woodsy trails of Pioneer Farms surrounded by an exciting display of lights and pumpkin sculptures. Pumpkin Nights is an all-ages event that offers a very creative and unique way to celebrate the season. You can enjoy seeing giant pumpkin sculptures, live carving demos, and lots of amazing, artistic scenes including a pumpkin dragon, pirate ship, owl, spiders, and more. Pumpkin Nights takes place through Oct. 30 with timed entry tickets available between 6 – 9:30 p.m.

While the Pioneer Farms living history museum is closed during the Pumpkin Nights hours, it makes for a great backdrop for your perfect photos. When you pass the historical village, you’ll find entertainment such as live pumpkin carving, a circus-style fire show, food trucks, and more.

Once you set on the wooded path through the grounds, you’ll be delighted by the clever pumpkin installations along your way. Effects such as smoke, lighting, and bubbles, as well as not-so-spooky music, add drama and adventure to your stroll.
