The Pumpkins After Dark Drive-Thru Event is Happening all Halloween Season

Please note that we were given a Media Coverage Pass to attend this experience by Pumpkins After Dark, but that just means we get to tell you all about it and you get a preview of what took place.

Looking for some nighttime fun during the Halloween Season? We have a great suggestion! Take a short road trip to see PUMPKINS AFTER DARK! This Drive-Thru Pumpkin Display has something for everyone! We saw pumpkins carved to look like Fairy-Tales, Famous Rock and Rollers, Frankenstein and First-Responders. These carved pumpkins portray a scene to be seen!




Check out our Reel to get a glimpse of what we experienced.


Next Level Jack-o-Lanterns

We didn't want to give it all away, but when you go, try to find all the ones in the video above. They may or may not be amongst other themed pumpkins. You really have to see it to believe it! Get set to be memorized by the detail of these pumpkins.

(Please note that the video above is from a prior year)

They take jack-o-lanterns to a whole new level and the best part is you get to learn about the displays along the way. Just tune your radio dial 89.1 for fun facts about the event along with Halloween music that matches the atmosphere. This award-winning outdoor event is a great way to celebrate the spooky season, and while you may want to pack up the family and hit the road, FIRST you need to PRE-PURCHASE your tickets for PUMPKINS AFTER DARK.

How to Find Pumpkins After Dark



Pumpkins After Dark takes place at Country Heritage Park. They have easy to follow directions from many areas at https://www.countryheritagepark.com/getting-here
Below are directions from starting from the Kitchener-Waterloo area (but remember you need to pre-purchase your tickets before travelling there).

Take the 401 East to Guelph Line North; turn left and drive north over the 401 to the first set of lights. Turn right onto Campbellville Rd. and travel east approx. 6 km to Tremaine Rd.; turn right and travel south. The Park is on the right just over the bridge over the 401.


It took us about 40 mins to drive from Kitchener to PUMPKINS AFTER DARK, but consider traffic on the 401 when you choose your time. Once you arrive make sure you have your ticket PDF pulled up on your phone, and then the attendants will guide you through the queue. When your vehicle line begins, you can expect the driving tour of the pumpkin route to take just under an hour to complete.
