Halloween fun is coming to Rock City, as they the gardens into a seasonal spectacle of large-scale pumpkin installations, spooky décor and fall family fun with the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch. The new event runs from September 26 through October 31.
Jack Straw, a towering 18-foot scarecrow in Gardens Gateway, welcomes visitors to the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch. From there, guests can either start the trail to take in the incredible installations along the way, including thousands of hand carved pumpkins, or head to Legacy Lane for an array of activities like face painting, pumpkin painting and a Tractor Hay Bale Maze in Spooky Town.
“This new event showcases Rock City’s legacy of creativity and dedication to the arts. Our Innovations Team poured countless hours into designing, carving, and installing the pieces that bring the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch to life in a seasonal yet family-friendly way,” said Will Jackson, Rock City’s Senior Manager of Innovation. “We’re excited to invite families to join us for what we hope will become a new fall tradition.”
