pumpkin glow
Brought to you By Los Alamos Arts Council
The 2024 Pumpkin Glow will be held on October 26th.
Meet for the Pumpkin Glow on October 26, 2024. Every year, thousands of people gaze in wide wonder at glowing visions of scary creatures, funny faces, cute animals, and fancy flowers. We encourage people of all ages and artistic talent to participate because anyone can carve a pumpkin! The annual Pumpkin Glow is held the Saturday before Halloween in conjunction with other Trick-or-Treat on Main Street events.
Bring us your pumpkin and we’ll display it for the town to see! If you want it back, pick it up by 9PM or it’ll turn back into a…pumpkin (but also compost).
10AM-Noon: Carving Party at Fuller Lodge. First 60 pumpkins are free (one per family please). Bring your own pumpkin or buy one from the LAHS Choir Pumpkin Patch on site.
4PM-6PM. Drop off your pumpkin to be displayed during the glow!
5PM-Dusk: Pumpkin Toddle. We will have our paths set up for the tiniest visitors who may not want to be out after dark. Bring the littles early to beat the crowds and the spookies.
Dusk-9PM Pumpkin Glow and Carving Contest Judging opens.
9PM-10PM Pick up your pumpkins or leave them to be taken over for compost.
the 2023 Pumpkin Glow was made possible by N3B Los Alamos. We could not have done it without them!
2019 world record attempt
You can view our Pumpkin Event from 2019 here. Los Alamos Arts Council presented an attempt to break the Word Record of Most Pumpkins Carved Simultaneously. This fun event brought participants from around New Mexico, and fun was had by all!
