Carved at Descanso Gardens

Carved transforms Descanso Gardens into a glowing nighttime celebration of fall filled with pumpkins, illuminated art and seasonal surprises throughout the garden.

As the sun sets, guests can wander through displays of glowing jack-o’-lanterns, giant hand-carved pumpkins and illuminated railroad scenes surrounded by the natural beauty of Descanso Gardens. Whimsical wood spirits and immersive art installations add unexpected discoveries along the way, creating an experience that blends Halloween traditions with art, light and nature.

Featured installations include Bobolito’s “Rhizome” within the Oak Grove and sculptures from Helsinki-based artist Alexander Reichstein, whose immersive works invite visitors of all ages into imaginative sensory environments. Seasonal food and beverages are also available throughout the experience.

With glowing pathways, elaborate pumpkin artistry and larger-than-life installations, Carved offers a family-friendly way to experience the fall and Halloween season after dark at Descanso Gardens.
