The Great Westerville Pumpkin Glow is back and bigger than ever for 2024! Running from October 17-20 at Heritage Park, this family-friendly fall event promises plenty of glowing pumpkins, fun activities, and tasty treats. This year, the entire park will be used, offering more space to explore and enjoy the festivities.
Winding through the park, the Pumpkin Glow Trail will take you past stunning pumpkin displays, including some of the biggest gourds around. Along the trail, special exhibits and not-so-scary features will keep everyone entertained, and new additions ensure there’s always something fresh to discover. The event includes fun rides and games like pumpkin bowling, a mechanical pumpkin ride, and even axe-throwing, which is available for just $5 for 10 throws.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for kids (ages 3-15) and seniors, and children under 3 can attend for free. Be sure to buy tickets online in advance, as there will be no on-site sales. Admission includes a variety of activities, from inflatables like the giant corn maze to LED putt-putt. Axe throwing is the only activity with an additional fee.
When it comes to food, come hungry because there will be plenty of food trucks, including local favorites like Schmidt’s, Grilled Cheese Gangsters, and Komodo Loco. New in 2024, look for expanded food offerings and themed pumpkin dishes from select vendors. Plus, live music will keep the festive vibe going all night long.
Parking is available at several nearby lots, with the closest options being the Westerville Sports Complex and the Westerville Community Center. All parking lots are within walking distance, and an ADA shuttle will be running for convenience.
So, grab your tickets, put on some comfy shoes, and get ready for an unforgettable night at The Great Westerville Pumpkin Glow!
