Pumpkin Nights Austin
Visitors walk a glowing half-mile trail through nine themed pumpkin lands, including the Forbidden City, Neon Reef, and The Enchanted Forest. The installations feature larger-than-life displays built from thousands of hand-carved and custom-designed pumpkins. Guests can also visit Pumpkin Village to watch live fire shows, see live pumpkin carving artists at work, and enjoy seasonal food and games.
