Franklin Park Conservatory will shine a little brighter at night, and it’s thanks to 100+ hand-carved pumpkins.
Pumpkins Aglow is back from now until Sunday, Oct. 29 for family-friendly late nights at the Conservatory. The events run from 5-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday + 5-10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Here’s what else is glowing on:
New displays have landed this year, such as a pumpkin tunnel light show + an alien invasion.
Familiar favorites will be on site, including the Pumpkin House + gardening skeleton.
This coincides with Harvest Blooms, which adds a larger-than-life cornucopia filled with pumpkins and gourds.
Kids activities are in the Pergola in the Grand Mallway, and range from $3-$4 per craft.
Plan ahead and check out the fall color report for the plants and leaves.
Happy Monday, CBUS. If you are looking for one last distraction before starting your work day, spend a few seconds with this drone footage of downtown.
