Don’t let your Halloween masterpieces go to waste! Bring your jack-o’-lanterns to the Art Gallery of Guelph on November 1st for a spectacular evening of light and creativity. Drop off your carved creations at the drop-off area in the parking lot behind the gallery on November 1st anytime before 7 pm to contribute to an enchanting pathway that will illuminate the gallery grounds.

At 8 pm, gather your family, friends, and neighbours to stroll through a magical trail of light in the AGG Sculpture Park in celebration of community artistry. We can’t wait to see your stunning jack-o’-lanterns shine!

Participants are encouraged to bring their own fake tea light for their jack-o’-lantern if they have one. After the parade, the pumpkins will be donated to The Donkey Sanctuary for our animal friends to snack on.
