Our live carving efforts are expanding for 2016 so that you can learn more about how we do what we do! We’ll have four live-carving stations where you can watch our artists create the different types of displays you see in the show all right before your eyes! Watch us illustrate and carve our famous 100+ pound pumpkins, see us build a multi-pumpkin jack o’lantern structure similar to our iconic raptor skeletons, catch some of the most talented pumpkin sculptors in the country carving our signature 3D sculpted pumpkins, and learn how our team churns out thousands of Halloween jack o’lanterns per day, in our Mini Carving Factory.
At The RISE, we've always had a mixture of jack o'lantern art hand-carved from both fresh real pumpkins and from life-like carveable artificial pumpkins. We're going to continue that tradition this year because there are certain things we can only do with real pumpkins and certain things we can only do with artificial ones. For the first time in 2016, we're planning on carving and lighting 5,000 FRESH REAL PUMPKINS each weekend at each location! We're planning on bringing in hundreds of carvers over a 2-day period prior to each weekend to get all the work done at each location!
The RISE is the only jack o'lantern event in North America that comes close to carving 5,000 real pumpkins each weekend at each location (and doing it on two coasts simultaneously isn't a walk through the pumpkin patch either!).
