Pumpkin Nights at Pomona Fairplex 

PUMPKIN NIGHTS is an all new interactive Halloween experience happening at the LA Fairplex in Pomona this October 12- November 4th. Visitors will venture along a half-mile walking path, where you’ll discover the Forbidden Pumpkin City, a pirate’s cove, and more fantastical lands built using over 3,000 hand-carved pumpkins and funkins. The celebration continues with entertainment and games in Pumpkin Central, our central festival area. Costumes are welcome, see the FAQ's page for guidelines.

  • Pumpkin Pirate Cove—a tropical island where pumpkin pirates protect the pumpkin treasure in the shadows of a pirate ship. Kids can dig for buried treasure in the Pumpkin Dig to trade for miniature pumpkins. 
  • Maravilla Lane—a world where classic sugar skull pumpkins hang overhead for the perfect photo opp and a marigold alter shines for Frida Kahlo. 
  • Pumpkin Reef—the all UV light underwater pumpkin wonderland is filled with bubbles, sea creatures, coral and a giant pumpkin octopus. 
  • Spider Alley—intricate pumpkin spiders and bugs await your admiration. 
  • Forbidden Pumpkin City—this Asian-inspired land’s lantern tunnel and 40-foot dragon are crowd favorites. “Pumpkinheads” can also make a wish at the reflective turtle pond. 
  • Great Pumpkin Hall—dedicated to all the Harry Potter fans out there, the Great Pumpkin Hall features a live owl meet and greet, owl pumpkins and pumpkin spice scented fog. Yum! 
  • Monster Mash—the most interactive of the lands, this pumpkin playground was made for everyone’s inner child, featuring see-saws and other playground favorites.
  • Pumpkin Passage—your journey will begin by walking through a pumpkin tunnel with 600 hand carved jack-o-lanterns and a friendly greeting from “Jack-o-lynn,” the 9-foot tall pumpkin.
