Pumpkinferno at Kingston Pen

Kingston Pen Tours is excited to announce the return of Pumpkinferno, the family-friendly fall event, for its second season. Taking place at Kingston Penitentiary on select evenings from September 27 to October 30, 2024, this beloved fall tradition is back and better than ever. This must-see Kingston event will feature five brand-new exhibits of hand-carved artificial pumpkins, along with many fan favorites from previous years. 

As the sun sets, Kingston Pen Tours transforms the historic site into an enchanting wonderland, with 13 brilliant pumpkin sculpture exhibits and more than 100 glowing displays against the limestone walls. Both children and adults will marvel at how Kingston Penitentiary is transformed into a place of magic and light under the night sky. 

This year’s display of over 7,000 pumpkins will feature five brand-new exhibits, including Timber Trail, showcasing a variety of trees; vibrantly colored happy clowns in Clown Town; Mercury in Retrograde, an homage to the legendary band Queen and lead singer Freddie Mercury; Jack’s Lair, with jack-o'-lanterns lining the entrance of the penitentiary’s shop dome; and Mega Munchies, a drool-worthy ode to snacks.
