The Nature Preserve Foundation invites you to experience a magical evening of glowing pumpkin trails at the Watershed!
Join us for our first ever Pumpkin Glow where our nature trails will be illuminated with glowing pumpkins carved by community members. This is a family friendly event and will offer other autumn fun activities and photo ops during the event.
Help Light Up the Trail at Pumpkin Glow 2025!
Calling all pumpkin carvers! Help us create a magical autumn night at The Watershed by carving your own pumpkins to be put on display!
Whether you’re carving solo, as a family, with friends, or as a local business, your pumpkin will be part of a spectacular display that brings the event to life.
Special Invitation to Local Businesses:
If your company participates, let us know your business name when registering. We’ll proudly display a sign with your name alongside your pumpkins so the community knows you helped light up the night!
How to participate:
