Think you and your team can carve the best pumpkins in Lubbock? Put your skills to the test with Park and Recreation's Pumpkin Carving Competition!

Prizes will be awarded to Best Team Theme, Best Parks and Rec Theme (It's Alive!), Most Pumpkins Carved and Best Pumpkin.

Registration is free, opens on 9/25/2023 and closes 10/22/2023. Teams will be provided with one carving kit and 10 pumpkins. There is no minimum or maximum requirement for team size. Hodges Community Center staff will contact the team leader (registrant) prior to the event to collect needed team information (how many carvers, team name...).

Pre-registration is required. Register Here

Check in starts at 6:00 pm at the Hodges Community Center located at 4011 University Ave. Once the team is checked in they can start carving their pumpkins. All carving will stop at 9:00 pm. Judging will take place October 25th and winners will be alerted.

All pumpkins will be placed in the 15th Annual Pumpkin Trail given they are family friendly designs.

Teams that complete 10 pumpkins get a group sign on the Pumpkin Trail. Pumpkins should be placed near or on the Parks and Recreation Display. If a team's pumpkins are moved somewhere else, we will alert them to the change.

Teams may provide extra pumpkins if they want to. We may also have extra pumpkins available.
