Pumpkins After Dark

Pumpkins After Dark brings a unique art installation experience to the Alameda County Fairgrounds. This isn't a traditional musical performance but rather an immersive, walk-through display featuring thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, often depicting pop culture figures, mythological creatures, and intricate scenes. It's a creative display of seasonal artistry, suitable for those looking for a different kind of evening event. This late-night Friday showing on October 23, 2026, offers an opportunity to see the illuminated sculptures after the main crowds have thinned. Held at the spacious Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA, it's generally a family-friendly atmosphere that appeals to art enthusiasts, Halloween fans, and anyone interested in creative light and sculpture work.
