Events in Vancouver: Pumpkins After Dark
October is here which means it’s officially spooky season! Check out ‘Pumpkins after Dark,’ an outdoor experience set to haunt Swangard Stadium and Central Park from October 3rd to 31st!
Guests can expect to see over 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins resembling classic Halloween characters, dinosaurs and dragons, movie and pop culture icons, and more!
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.
There will be plenty of Instagram-worthy photo opportunities around the stadium and park. Music, sounds, and special effects will help complete the experience.
The Halloween event operates rain or shine and is a self-paced experience. The pathway will be roughly 1 km in length, and most guests will spend an average of one to two hours exploring the displays.
And don’t forget to wear your costume!
