Pumpkins After Dark

Pumpkins After Dark is a theatrical light display and art installation focused on elaborate pumpkin carvings and arrangements. This isn't a traditional concert or play, but rather an immersive walk-through experience showcasing intricate designs made from real and artificial pumpkins. It's an opportunity to see large-scale, often themed, pumpkin artistry illuminated after dark. This seasonal event takes place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA. The fairgrounds are typically spacious, allowing for extensive outdoor displays. This type of event generally appeals to families and anyone looking for a unique, visually-driven autumn activity in a festive outdoor setting.
