It’s a Halloween tradition that can’t be missed!Carvers and decorators of all ages are welcome to submit a pumpkin to the park’s annual pumpkin carving contest.
Pumpkins are judged in four different categories — “Most Creative,” “Scariest,” “Most Traditional,” and “Funniest.”
Winners are announced that evening and receive bragging rights! Bring your already carved jack-o-lantern with you when you come to the event.
Also, the popular, pumpkin-lit Nocturnal Trail is back!
On this Halloween adventure, families with little ones are invited to walk a short trail through the woods dotted with fun facts about the nocturnal animals found in the park.
Along the trail, four “nocturnal animals” hand out candy to trick-or-treaters, so remember to wear your costume and bring a flashlight!
All attendees can enjoy Halloween-themed games & activities, a costume parade, spooky music by Nate the DJ, & more!
Cider & donuts sold to support the park. Activities take place near the Music Court (stone stage).
Price: The pumpkin carving contest, games, music, and parade are FREE. Trick-or-treating on the “nocturnal trail” is $9/Member Family (max 5 people); $15/Nonmember Family (max 5 people). Pumpkin decorating activity (one pumpkin & kit) is $8; this is a separate activity from the pumpkin carving contest.
The Nocturnal Trail is listed online as a separate event, so folks who wish can register in advance.
