Beginning Friday, October 21, the Garden will be home to the four biggest pumpkins in the world, including Jim and Kelsey Bryson's world-record-setting, 1,818.5-pound behemoth! As last year, once again we will feature amazing artists who will carve these massive pumpkins into frightful works of Halloween art. On Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, watch master carver and two-time Food Network Challenge winner Ray Villafane perform his carving magic, as seen on the Food Network series Halloween Wars. On Saturday and Sunday, October 29 and 30, Michael Natiello—the mastermind behind the pumpkin sculptures in The Haunted Pumpkin Garden—will take on one of these monstrous gourds.

Talk to the artists and see the creations take shape before your eyes during your Garden visit, and grab some pictures with the giant pumpkins. The works in progress will be illuminated during our Halloween evening events, so don't forget to stop by and marvel at the craftsmanship! Get tickets and more information on these giant pumpkins.

About The Haunted Pumpkin Garden
Pumpkin sculptures of spooky scarecrows, frightening spiders, sneaky snakes, and more designed by artist Michael Natiello await discovery at every turn in the Everett Children's Adventure Garden. Youngsters play inside a "gourd-geous" Pumpkin House, put on a scary show at the Pumpkin Puppet Theater, have a "hoot" finding out what owls eat by dissecting pellets, and look for wiggly worms under a rotting log. Kids of all ages are encouraged to wear scary costumes for daily parades through the Adventure Garden. Get tickets.
