The Gardens on Spring Creek will host Pumpkins on Parade, presented by Ace Hardware, Oct. 22-25. The Gardens will transform into a whimsical after-hours experience filled with art, imagination, twinkling lights and seasonal fun.
This beloved Fort Collins tradition invites guests of all ages to explore larger-than-life Halloween displays, giant pumpkins and immersive themed environments. New this year, every major display has been designed and created by local artists, showcasing the creativity and talent of the Northern Colorado community. “Fort Collins has such talented, supportive visual art and music communities,” says Aaron Varnell, public events coordinator at The Gardens. “Institutions like The Gardens engaging with local artists and providing platforms for their creativity to shine is an essential piece of the art ecosystem, and I’m looking forward to seeing what these partnerships yield in the future.”
From glowing pathways and twinkling lights to playful surprises around every corner, Pumpkins on Parade offers plenty of light frights and family-friendly fun.
In addition to the artistic displays, guests can enjoy live music each evening, festive games with candy-free prizes and seasonal refreshments, including beverages available for purchase from the full bar.
