Phoenix Magazine Rates Carefree's Enchanted Pumpkin Garden voted BEST IN VALLEY for 2016!
Town of Carefree will host the 2nd annual Enchanted Pumpkin Garden, created by world renowned artist, Ray Villafane October 17 - 31. The pumpkins are still keeping time to the Carefree Sundial (which is the 3rd largest in the world) but 2016 will garner all new pumpkin Vignettes and even a little Pumpkin town that will take you back into time. Ray also is featuring his NEW Scarecrows that are handcrafted out of organic materials from the desert. Sponsors for the event will include Jelly Belly Candy, Bashas, Mortimer Farms, Toll Brothers, Carefree Conference Center, Russ Lyon Sothebys and of course APS who has supported Carefree events for many years. Let There Be Light will be donating some of their expertise to the displays! Pumpkin treats and cool pumpkin merchandise will also be available for purchase. Check out CarefreePumpkinGarden.com for details.

Herbert and I have been over in the Gardens quite a bit this past week to take pictures of the Enchanted Pumpkin Garden. The Festival is fantastic! Here are Herbert's pictures of one of the pumpkins in the tanks, photographed during the day and lit at night.

Enjoy this video that Herbert did. Stay tuned. More videos are on the way! Come to the Carefree Gardens and see it for yourselves. Ray and his team have put together a real winner again this year. The Festival will be here through October 31st, and new features are added as it progresses, so there is always something new to see.
