Looking for something fun, unique, and not so spooky to do during Spooky Szn this year? I've got just the thing for you.

The Amazing Pumpkin Carve 2026 will be at Needle Creek Farm Brewery in Hopewell

Back for its 12th year, The Amazing Pumpkin Carve will be held from Thursday, October 8 - Sunday, October 11, at Needle Creek Farm Brewery on Titus Mill Road in Pennington, which is only 10 minutes away from Woolsey Park in Hopewell, where the event is usually held. Construction in the park forced organizers to find a new spot for this year.

There will be live entertainment every day

You'll love Needle Creek Farm Brewery. The scenery is beautiful. There are family-friendly activities indoors and outdoors, along with farm animals your kids will love to see. There will be food trucks, craft beer, live entertainment each day, a climbing zone for kids, a jumbo sandbox, and more fun.

Oh, and of course, the coolest pumpkins around. Local artists carve massive pumpkins into masterpieces for you to see. Don't worry, you won't need to do the carving. When I say massive, these pumpkins are all over 200 pounds. Wait 'til you see them. It's quite a sight.
