Опис події

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of fall and Halloween at one of Canada’s most popular family festivals—Pumpkins After Dark, which returns this fall to WinSport Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. From September 25 to October 31, 2026, guests can enjoy a magical evening stroll among over 10,000 intricately carved pumpkins, large-scale light installations, and themed displays.

Along the route, visitors will see hundreds of light art installations featuring classic Halloween characters, fantastical creatures, dinosaurs, dragons, and heroes from movies and pop culture. The atmosphere is enhanced by music, light effects, and specially designed photo zones, making the festival a wonderful place for family fun and vibrant fall photos.

In addition to strolling around, guests can enjoy live pumpkin carving demonstrations, performances by entertainers, and seasonal treats and drinks from local food trucks. Alcoholic beverages are available for adults, and the organizers have created a safe environment for children, free of spooky “screamers” or actors who scare visitors. That’s why the festival is suitable for guests of all ages.

The event takes place outdoors, rain or shine. Free parking is available for visitors, as well as public transportation to the venue. Tickets are sold for specific time slots, so the organizers recommend booking them in advance, especially on weekends and in the days leading up to Halloween.

Pumpkins After Dark has long been an annual fall tradition for many Canadian families. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend an evening with family or friends, enjoy the festive atmosphere, see incredible pumpkin installations, and create unforgettable memories.
