Three people are carving pumpkins on a street decorated for Halloween. A young man with blonde hair and an orange scarf is on the left, a man with dark skin and an apron is in the middle, and a young woman with brown hair and a pink hat is on the right. They are all smiling and appear to be enjoying the activity, with several carved pumpkins and other Halloween decorations visible around them.
