As the sun sets, the jack-o’lanterns come alive with Halloween magic! This September and October enjoy a fun and family-friendly walk-through experience for all ages — it’s Pumpkins After Dark, Canada’s largest Halloween festival.

It takes pumpkin carving, a celebrated Halloween tradition, to amazing new heights!
Pumpkins After Dark occurs at Canada Olympic Park from Thursday to Sunday, September 20 to October 31, 2024. It’s Canada’s award-winning Halloween event featuring over 10,000+ hand-carved pumpkins so be sure you get your tickets early as the event does sell out. Tickets are timed entry to ensure that you have the best possible experience. Witness pumpkins coming to life during this nighttime family-friendly experience!
Explore the magical pathway of lit pumpkin sculptures and displays, with music, sounds, and special effects, designed to provide 45 minutes to one hour of wonder, thrills, and fun. This event is suitable for all ages, as there is nothing too scary for your little ones, and your big ones will be amazed by the creativity. Past years have included pumpkins with classic Halloween characters, dinosaurs and dragons, movies, and pop culture icons. All the displays have been designed and created in Canada by local artists. This family-friendly event has something for everyone to love!
Besides the walking pathway through the pumpkins, your family will also find additional features onsite. You can watch live pumpkin carving demos and buy your own pumpkins. Enjoy fall treats and sweets, be entertained by roaming Halloween performers, and purchase fun seasonal merchandise. Take advantage of Instagram-worthy photo opportunities and enjoy the best of the season.
