# Event Details - **Event Name**: DRIS Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 18 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Every fall, the DRIS community takes a classic Halloween tradition and sinks it. Our annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving event brings divers together to test their skills, battle the ridiculous buoyancy of pumpkins, and celebrate the spooky season the only way we know how…underwater. Join us at Haigh Quarry in Kankakee, IL, and put your dive knife to the ultimate test. Carve your jack-o'-lantern at 20 feet while trying to keep both your trim and your pumpkin under control. Then bring your creation to the surface to see if it has what it takes to win our underwater pumpkin carving contest and earn some Halloween bragging rights and some great dive prizes! After the dives, gather topside to see whose pumpkin earns top honors during our pumpkin carving competition and costume contest. Then stick around for one of our favorite traditions: a massive community potluck, Halloween games, and plenty of spooky fun. Pumpkins courtesy of Haigh Quarry! Bring your dive gear, your best Halloween costume, and a favorite dish to share. Whether you're competing for bragging rights, enjoying a fun day underwater, or just celebrating the season with the dive community, this is one event you won't want to miss!
