Pumkinferno Comes to Life at Upper Canada Village!

September 24, 2025

Cornwall, ON – Upper Canada Village is excited to bring back the fan-favourite, family-friendly Pumpkinferno for its 14th season, beginning October 3rd, 2025. This one-of-a-kind outdoor magical experience will feature multiple brand-new exhibits of hand-carved artificial pumpkins along with many fan favourites from years past.

When the sun goes down, the daily toil of 19th century village life fades away and Upper Canada Village is transformed into an enchanted wonderland with brilliant pumpkin sculpture exhibits installed throughout the one-kilometre village canvas, all ablaze under the night sky.

The pumpkins have been designed and carved by a talented group of young artists from eastern Ontario. They begin carving in the spring to make sure each pumpkin is carved to perfection. These designers and carvers were selected based on their penchant for design, whether in their field of study or as a personal hobby.
