This isn’t the cheapest event in town, but it is one of the most fun for a fall evening. Luminaria-lined pathways wind through the Denver Botanic Gardens to reveal larger-than-life pumpkin displays during Glow at the Gardens. Musicians, dancers and performing artists bring spirits and specters to life, and scores of hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns harvested from local farms light up the night with grins and grimaces fit for the season.
Bring your face mask and a macabre mood for this enchanted autumnal experience. Seasonal treats and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the Hive Garden Bistro.
Guests are encouraged to dress up in costume.
The event runs 6 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, October 18 to 23.
