Green Pumpkin Carving Contest

Not actual green pumpkins - we still prefer the orange ones, but want to see how creative you can be in carving your pumpkins with a green theme. A beloved part of our Creatures of the Night festival, we are hosting a ‘Green Pumpkin Carving Contest’. Use your imagination to come up with an eco-themed carving and have your pumpkin displayed (and judged) on our Enchanted Pumpkin Display. All pumpkins will be displayed, lit with our LED lights, and be judged by EHC staff. A ‘People’s Choice’ award will also be given according to voting by participants in the Creatures of the Night festival.

Are you ready to get eco-spooky with your large orange squash? The Creatures of the Night Festival will be held Friday, October 17 from 5pm-10pm. Voting will take place during the event, with awards given at 9:00pm. Please see the rules and entry information below.

Drop off your already carved pumpkin:

Thursday, October 16th from 9am-4pm

Friday, October 17th from 9am-noon

Judging will take place Friday evening during the Creatures of the Night Festival. All entries will be displayed during this event. The winners will be announced at 9:00pm.

Pumpkins will be judged according to age groups: 12 and under, teens (13-18), adults (18 and above), family, and business. Judging criteria will consider design and eco-friendliness.

You may take your pumpkin home with you on the 17th or pick it up the 18th or 19th between 9am-4pm. Any pumpkins remaining after the 20th will be composted.

You are encouraged to pre-register, but you may also register onsite when you drop off your pumpkin. There is no registration fee for this event.
