Elizabethan GardensEvents

In 1587, English colonists came to Roanoke Island. Night of 1587 Pumpkins is an event at which we attempt to light 1,587 jack-o’-lanterns. The evening will consist of trick-or-treating, contests, and, of course, pumpkins! Everyone is encouraged to come in costume to enjoy the festivities. Our community pumpkins, so come to the Gardens to carve a free jack-o’-lantern on October 28th and/or 29th, which will be added to the pumpkin path. Or bring your own carved pumpkin(s) to the event!
