37 spectacular photos from last night's pumpkin parades in Toronto

Last night, all across Toronto, pumpkin parades popped up in the city’s parks.

And they were phenomenal.

Seriously, if the demand was higher than one night a year, some of these people could quit their day jobs to become full-time pumpkin carvers.

So if you didn’t get the chance to hit up your neighbourhood pumpkin parade or you just want to catch up on any jack-o-lanterns you missed, we’ve got 37 of the best right here.

Happy Halloween! ••• #soraurenpark #pumpkinparade #cntower @blogto @torontoguardian #westend #spooky @weownthenight_to #nightshot #nighttime #night #torontoevents @torontopfr #torontoskyline
