Los Alamos County Community Services Department and the Los Alamos Arts Council are partnering together to bring an event like no other – the Halloweekend Pumpkin Glow and Show on Oct. 29th from 4 p.m. – 9 p.m.!
Historically, the Los Alamos Arts Council Pumpkin Glow has been held at Fuller Lodge Lawn, however this year, it is being moved to Overlook Park, in White Rock and coupled with music, bouncy houses, food, fireworks, and more.
The Los Alamos Arts Council will hold its Pumpkin Carving Party on Oct. 29th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the patio of Smith’s Marketplace, in Los Alamos. Bring your pumpkin and carve Jack-o-Lanterns together as family and friends. 100 free pumpkins will be provided by Smith’s on a first-come-first-served basis. Carving tools and templates will also be provided to make your Jack-o-Lantern or you can bring your own. Then the Arts Council will transport your creation to White Rock to have it displayed at the Pumpkin Glow.

Jack-o-Lanterns for the Pumpkin Glow can be dropped off at Overlook Park from 1–4 p.m., participants will receive a pass at the gate. After the Glow and Show event, participants can pick up their pumpkin/s to take home, any left behind will be composted.
