Kingwood Center Gardens Will Have Thousands Of Jack-O-Lanterns At The Great Pumpkin Glow This Fall

This fall, the Kingwood Center Gardens will be aglow with the light of thousands of jack-o’-lanterns.

Back for its ninth year, the Great Pumpkin Glow will return for two weekends this October. The event will be timed and ticketed, allowing for guests to enjoy more space in the gardens. The event allows guests to stroll through Kingwood’s 47 acres while enjoying a massive display of pumpkins.

There will be live music, local food trucks, a kids area, a Fall Market, and more. In addition to beautiful carved pumpkins, Kingwood Center Gardens will be filled with glittering light displays, dramatic gourd exhibits, an enchanted forest, and glow merchandise for kids of all ages.
