We love great Halloween events around the DC area. It’s hard not to magic, costumes, pumpkins and fall fun! This year, there is an extra special event that will truly enchant everyone. THE GLOW is a one of a kind pumpkin festival that you absolutely must see and soon!
In Reston, Virginia, about 30 minutes outside of DC, a glorious pumpkin trail exists.
On this trail, visitors will see 5,000 glittering masterfully carved pumpkins.
THE GLOW is 1/3 of a mile and along the way you will see pumpkins of every shape, size and type.
Some are carved to look like your favorite celebrities, athletes or fictional characters.
Others are detailed scenes with life-sized creations. You might see dinosaurs, pirates, princesses and much more along the trail!
Every pumpkin along the trail is carved by an expert artist who takes the time to add in creative details.
The master carvers plan and prepare all year for this unique festival. And the actual carving can take from a few hours to a few days!
The result is a beautiful work of glowing art that the entire family will enjoy.
The trail isn't scary so it's perfect for a night of family fun. It's more of a magical and enchanting trip than a spooky festival.
There is festive fall food and beverages available for purchase along the trail. You can also pose for photos and take as many as you like. The pumpkins are extremely photogenic!
Here's the important part you need to know about THE GLOW. It's a ticketed event and tickets must be purchased in advance. You can find tickets on their website here .
THE GLOW will be here until the end of the month at Lake Fairfax Park, 1400 Lake Fairfax Drive in Reston Virginia. Don't miss out on this spectacular Halloween event!
