Stroll through Historic Main Street as hundreds of carved pumpkins cast a warm, spooky glow across the brick-lined district. Main Street shops will stay open late with special offers, and Legends & Lanterns characters will be nearby sharing chilling stories and creating memorable encounters. Costumes are encouraged, but please note that Pumpkin Glow is not a trick-or-treating event.

This free event takes place Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 5–8 PM each evening.

Make Bike Stop Café part of your Pumpkin Glow visit! We’re just off Historic Main Street at 701 S. Riverside Drive. Stop in before or during the event for coffee, breakfast, lunch, drinks, or a seasonal treat.
