A Night of 1587 Pumpkins

Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 5pm to 8pm

In 1587, English colonists came to Roanoke Island. Night of 1587 Pumpkins is an event at which we attempt to light 1,587 jack-o-lanterns. The evening will consist of trick-or-treating, contests, and of course, pumpkins! Everyone is encouraged to come in costume to enjoy the festivities. Jack-o-lanterns are provided by our community, so come to the Gardens to carve a free pumpkin on October 24 or 25th that will be added to the pumpkin path. Or bring your own carved pumpkin(s) to the event!

In addition to the vendors listed, the Gardens will have glow sticks, hot chocolate, apple cider and s’more packs for the bonfire for sale. Come enjoy the evening!
