Pumpkins and Halloween just go hand in hand. After all, it wouldn't be Halloween without glowing pumpkins sitting on doorsteps and on front lawns around our neighborhoods. Today's pumpkins range from the traditional to the intricate. See some of both at this annual Pumpkin Glow in Pennsylvania, a fun event for the whole family.
Hershey Gardens has been the place to go for intricately carved, glowing pumpkins during the Halloween season, and this year is no different.
However, if you've been to the Pumpkin Glow in the past, you will notice that the event has changed quite a bit due to the pandemic. (Don't worry. A ton of fun still awaits.)
The Pumpkin Glow is set for October 24, 25, and 31 and November 1, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No nighttime hours will be offered this season, one noticeable change.
All guests two and older will be required to wear a mask and to socially distance at this reimagined event that will take place indoors at the Glow House.
Take a leisurely stroll through the Glow House, illuminated by 100 pumpkins, both carved and painted. However, that's just the beginning of the fun.
Enjoy the fresh fall air as you wander around the outdoor gardens, all decked out for Halloween.
The whole family's invited to wear their Halloween costumes, and the kiddos will receive a goodie bag with Hershey's candies. If you get hungry, stop by one of the food trucks to grab a bite to eat.
