Descanso Gardens
Carved is a family-friendly Halloween event for all ages; visitors can enjoy a mile-long walk through Descanso's beautiful gardens and woods, viewing hundreds of jack-o’-lanterns carved from real pumpkins along the trail. There's a new route to try this year!
Once again, the Descanso Railroad is specially lit for Carved.
Plus, new ghosts are added to the family of wood spirits carved from five enormous logs by Chainsaw Jenna. These displays join luminous jack-o’-lanterns, hand-carved giant pumpkins and the “Rhizome” installation by Tom and Lien Dekyvere.
Carved is a rain-or-shine event. Advance purchase required.
