The Carefree Enchanted Garden Art Event kicked off this past Friday, October 18th. It is even more amazing this year, with several added exhibits created by the world renowned artists of Villafane Studios, and it has more kid friendly attractions than ever. The sculptors will be in the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion carving pumpkins daily until it ends next Sunday, October 27th. New pumpkins are constantly being carved and added to the exhibits.
One popular new feature was the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, which took place on Saturday morning on the community stage. The winner weighed 881 pounds. All of the giant pumpkins that were entered will be carved by the artists this year. The first one is in progress in the Pavilion now, so stop by and watch as it emerges.
(Pssst: You can see the top secret 2019 Carefree Gardens crash sites of a new type of interstellar aliens. Come quickly, before the "clean up crew" removes the evidence! Roswell has nothing on Carefree! And could these crashed alien pumpkins somehow be responsible for the mice and pumpkin zombies that are attacking the pumpkin hospital? Let us know what you think!)
One of the neatest new features is a fabulous clown who Villafane Studios brought here from Poland. His marionettes are incredible! He performs 3 different 20 minute shows daily, on the hour, starting at noon. The last show starts at 8 PM. These shows are a must see. Very unique! Herbert and I have never seen anything like his acts. In Herbert's video below, Ray Villafane talks about their new clown.

Next weekend, Pompatus of Love, the ultimate Steve Miller tribute band featuring Greg Douglass, an original member of the Steve Miller Band, will be playing in the Pavilion on Saturday night. Sunday will feature costume contests for kids, pets, and adults. Check out this weekend's event schedule at https://enchantedpumpkingarden.com/activities/
There is all this and so much more to see and do, so come experience the premier fall holiday event in the Valley, the Carefree Enchanted Pumpkin Garden, created by Villafane Studios. At night, see the eerie lighting on the exhibits and the detailed carved pumpkins in lit faux saguaro tanks.
While you are here, be sure to check out Mabel, the sleeping dragon, Ray's latest sand sculpture. Mabel is snoozing peacefully along Hum Road in front of the Black Mountain Coffee Shop and Cafe.
And, if that weren’t enough to get you up here, we have just been informed that the mice of Voodoo Springs have been wreaking havoc all over the gardens. And, now they have escaped to the ticket booths, and changed all of the signs! Beginning Friday through Sunday, admission to the Gardens will be $12 for adults and $7 for kids 3-12! Two and under are still free. Groupon users, no need to fret, the mice left tickets worth $5 off at any of the Garden food trucks, food vendors or snack carts! Those little mice will be looking for you this weekend!
Experience Halloween magic at the Carefree Enchanted Garden. This unique event provides countless hours of interactive fun for the entire family. For more information, visit the website athttps://enchantedpumpkingarden.com/
