From September 19 to October 31, 2025, Pumpkins After Dark is back for its fifth year, bringing thousands of glowing, hand-carved pumpkins and some brand-new twists to keep things exciting.
If you’ve been before, you’ll still find the glowing displays and creative sets that make the event so popular. But this year there’s more to explore — a glowing Spider Tunnel to walk through, a spooky graveyard scene, and even costumed actors roaming the grounds ready to give you a playful scare. Families can also try out new mini carnival games along the way.

One change many will welcome is lower ticket prices. Organizers say they wanted to make the milestone year more accessible so more people can enjoy the experience.
Whether for the curious first-timer or those returning for a seasonal tradition, the 2025 edition promises both familiarity and novelty.
