The family-friendly event is described by organizers as a celebration of all things Halloween. All pumpkins are hand-drawn and carved by Canadian artists, and displays take over a year to be created.
Pumpkins After Dark will showcase live gourd carving demos as well as serve up fall treats and sweets.
