16th Annual Pumpkin Trail

City of Lubbock Parks and Recreation and Reliant will host the 16th Annual Pumpkin Trail October 17-20, 2024, at the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum. The goal this year is to showcase 2,000 pumpkins. To make this happen, we need the citizens of Lubbock to donate their carved pumpkins to the Pumpkin Trail. In past years, there have been more than 1,800 pumpkins and more than 25,000 visitors at the trail.

 

Carved pumpkin drop-off will be on Wednesday, October 16 from 8 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Thursday, October 17 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. outside the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum at 4111 University on the east side of the parking lot. Look for the “DELIVER PUMPKINS HERE” signs. Pumpkin carvings must be family-friendly.

 

This year the community is invited to get involved with Pumpkin Trail by participating in Parks and Recreation’s Pumpkin Carving Competition. This competition will be held at Hodges Community Center on Tuesday, October 15, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Registration is required by October 13, and is currently open at playlubbock.com.
