Every Year the Pumpkins Get More Amazing!
During the second week of October every year, local artists are commissioned to carve GIANT 150 pound pumpkins for all to see under the big-top. Now in it’s 10th year, thousands of visitors flock to see their awesome and spooky handiwork and be part of the fun fall festivities at the most popular fall event in Hopewell Valley.
The 2024 pumpkins were more amazing than ever! If you were out of town or just want to see your favorites once again, scroll around below to see all the masterpieces from this year’s Amazing Pumpkin Carve.
