There is no better Halloween Family Tradition than the “Annual Pumpkin Walk” at Bainbridge Gardens

Bainbridge Gardens have been hosting the Pumpkin Walk for the last 17 years, and this year’s event was held on October 15 and 16.

An air of excitement greets you as the pass through the entrance of the gardens at sunset.  The gardens take on the appearance of a fairy village, and children come dressed in their favorite Halloween costumes.

The actual Pumpkin Walk is a short trail at the back of the gardens, adorned with over 300 carved pumpkins provided by children.  The crowd snakes along the trail at nightfall, stopping at regular intervals to admire the illuminated pumpkins.

Although the Pumpkin Walk is the main attraction, there are plenty of other activities for kids.  These include the Harvest Hay Maze, and Inflatable Bounce House.   Kids can also have their photo taken with the “Great Pumpkin” (a jolly guy in a costume).

This is a fun night out.  Make sure you put it on your calendar for October 2012.

Happy Travels!

Fiona
