Organizers describe the family-friendly event as a celebration of all things Halloween. This year, brand-new displays will be featured. The show takes nearly a full year to create.

Pumpkins After Dark will showcase live gourd carving demos and serve fall treats and sweets to guests. A number of food trucks will be on-site each evening.
