This 1-km Path Takes You Through A Village Made Of 7,000 Glowing Pumpkins In Ontario

This Halloween, treat yourself to a unique Halloween activity you've never experienced before: an illuminated walk through a village of 7,000 glowing pumpkins.

Upper Canada Village is a heritage park in Ontario that depicts a 19th-century village. Complete with Victorian buildings, water-powered mills, ornamental gardens and even costumed staff, the village gives visitors a glimpse into life in the 1860s, during the time of the Confederation.

Every year, the village hosts a Halloween event called Pumpkinferno. It's an award-winning showcase of handcrafted pumpkin-carved displays, which are lit up at night time. The eye-catching installations are set up along a 1-km path that takes you through the entire village.

There are several points of interest along the path. Jack, an iconic pumpkin-headed scarecrow, makes a return this year, and will keep an eye on you during your walk. You'll enter the village via a welcome bridge decorated with multiple lit jack o'lanterns. Inside the village, all of the exhibits will light up your way.

This year, Pumpkinferno will run throughout October, starting on September 29, 2017. Below is a full calendar of events, plus the costs of tickets per head:
