Not to worry though, the drive is only an hour and a half away. Once you're at the festival you'll be greeted by over 7,000 handcrafted pumpkins lit across a kilometer long path that takes you through a historical-turn-spooky 19th century village. @a_nicolettaembedded via The Pumpkinferno fest begins on September 29 and runs almost every night until October 28. This is definitely one of the first autumn events you'll want to go to before Halloween begins, so you might as well start preparing for the festive month right now!
