Pumpkins After Dark Lights Up Calgary This Fall

A Halloween Tradition, Turned Up to Eleven

Pumpkins After Dark isn’t your average fall stroll. This award-winning outdoor event returns to Winsport with more than 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins glowing against the night sky. From dragons and dinosaurs to pop culture icons, every curve of the pathway feels like stepping into a Halloween dreamscape.

Beyond the Glow: Carving, Treats, and Special Nights

The event keeps things fresh with live pumpkin carving from pros, seasonal treats for the sweet-toothed, and interactive photo spots at every turn. For 2025, the lineup of special nights adds extra fun: a licensed 18+ Adult Night on October 2, Villains After Dark on October 5, and a Superhero Night on October 19.

Fall Nights Worth Capturing

Running select dates from September 19 through October 31, the event lights up Winsport from dusk to 11 p.m. With wheelchair-accessible pathways, free parking, and public transit options, it’s designed for everyone. Families, friends, and fall fanatics alike will find themselves wrapped up in a glowing seasonal tradition.
