Wild Adventures Theme Park will open its fifth annual Great Pumpkin LumiNights on Sept. 19. The event runs Fridays through Sundays through Oct. 26 and features glowing pumpkin sculptures, new entertainment and the return of the Pumpkin Spice Festival.

Guests will also have access to the park’s rides and attractions during the day and into the night throughout the celebration.

“Great Pumpkin LumiNights has become an annual fall tradition for families in the region,” said Asher Raymond, public relations specialist. “The park transforms into a land of glowing jack-o’-lanterns and towering pumpkin sculptures, with hundreds of pumpkins to see. It is quite the spectacle and unlike anything else in the area.”

Light displays can be found throughout the park, including the new Foggy Forest, the Twilight Tunnel and the new Glow Grove. The LumiNight Legends Pumpkin Gallery, introduced in 2023, has
expanded to include more than 175 intricately carved pumpkins of famous faces and places from Georgia and Florida. The carvings are created by master carver Jim Morey, who will present live demonstrations Oct. 3-5 and Oct. 10-11.

Entertainment includes hula-hoop artist Lianna Ashton, comedy juggler Just Larry, the Pumpkin Pop n’ Lock Dance Duo and Mayor Gourdan’s Festival Show, which features contests such as Pumpkin Bobbing and the Pumpkin Spice Game Show for kids to enjoy. Each evening concludes with the Light Up the Night Dance Party, where families can enjoy music and meet Great Pumpkin LumiNights characters.

The Pumpkin Spice Festival also returns as the country’s largest celebration of the classic fall flavor, offering nearly 30 limited-time items such as Pumpkin Spice Fried Oreos, Pumpkin Spice BBQ Ribs and Candy Corn Fanta Punch. Guests can purchase the Pumpkin Spice Passport Bundle for $59, which includes single-day admission, unlimited soda and five food festival items.

“The best part about Great Pumpkin LumiNights is that it creates even more experiences and memorable moments for all ages,” Raymond said. “The light displays, tasty treats and high-energy entertainment are sure to put a smile on our guests’ faces.”
