The family-friendly event is described by organizers as a celebration of all things Halloween, with this year featuring brand-new displays. It takes nearly a full year to create the show.
Pumpkins After Dark will showcase live gourd carving demos and serve up fall treats and sweets for the guests. A number of food trucks will be on-site each evening.
