Carved is set to light up the night, transforming Descanso Gardens into a mesmerizing pumpkin wonderland filled with returning favorites and exciting new additions. Guests will enjoy strolling through the enchanting displays of luminous jack-o’-lanterns, hand-carved giant pumpkins, and whimsical installations. This year’s highlights include an expanded “Rhizome” installation by Tom&Lien Dekyvere in the Rose Garden Labyrinth and a large-scale Día de los Muertos ofrenda altar, providing a serene space for reflection and remembrance. 

New this year is the Beer Garden on the Main Lawn, where visitors can enjoy drinks and bites, explore the hay maze, and snap photos at the pumpkin house. The Descanso Railroad’s model trains will also be running and lit up for the occasion. A special treat awaits as Chainsaw Jenna from Frizzleburg, Pennsylvania, brings to life a family of wood spirits carved from five enormous logs, adding a touch of playful mischief to the event.
