Night of 1587 Pumpkins

In 1587, English colonists came to Roanoke Island. Night of 1587 Pumpkins is a new event at The Elizabethan Gardens at which we will 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 event attendees, so if you visit, please bring a few carved pumpkins!

Come Hungry!  OBX Kettle Corn, Tubbs Hot Dogs and Pigman's BBQ will be set up at the event!  In additon, VR Pottery and Children's Face Painting by Miss Sheila will be at the event.
