Gourd-geous: An enchanting event with over 6,000 glowing pumpkins is coming to Calgary

We love the summer sun but now that Starbucks has announced the return of their PSL, we’re officially entering our fall era! From costumes to kettle corn, we’re beyond excited for spooky season and one of the first events on our hit list? Pumpkins After Dark in Calgary.

Featuring over 6,000 hand-carved pumpkins, sweet treats and awe-inspiring carving demonstrations, this one-of-a-kind event will light up the night ahead of Ol’ Hallows Eve.

Much like Calgary’s Zoo Lights or any corn maze you’ve ever been to, each walkthrough will take approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on how long it’ll take you to snap a few photos and revisit your faves and you will have favourites!

From popular shows and movies, these artists have brought pop culture to life and have created a display for everyone.

Interested? Tickets are available now at the website below.

This year, Pumpkins After Dark kicks off on September 22nd and will run until October 31st and believe us. It’s going to be lit.
