Fall evening event at the York Street gardens: an illuminated path of hand-carved real pumpkin displays and larger-than-life pumpkin sculptures animated by live performers, now split into three color-coded one-way paths. Not very scary — spooky illusions, props and sound effects in some areas, no graphic content. Costumes encouraged; full-face masks not allowed over age 17. Tickets must be bought in advance; the event sells out weeks ahead.
