Pumpkins After Dark

Pumpkins After Dark is an immersive Halloween experience centered around elaborate pumpkin carvings and displays. This isn't a traditional theater performance with actors, but rather an art installation showcasing thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, some sculpted into fantastical scenes and characters, others glowing in intricate patterns. It's an opportunity to see creative artistry on a large scale, celebrating the spooky season with visual flair. This installation runs on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA. The event takes place outdoors, often with a walking path guiding visitors through different themed areas. It's a family-friendly atmosphere that appeals to anyone looking for a unique, visually driven way to get into the Halloween spirit.
