Canandaigua Pumpkin Walk 2023

The Ontario Pathways Great Pumpkin Walk was on again last night after a 4 year hiatus due to the 2020 pandemic. Only detractor to the event was they switched to using LED tea lights versus real tea light candles. The half mile long trail was pitch black once you got away from the entrance at the main road. So dark that you couldn't see the trail or the people in front of you. The jack-o-lanterns didn't have an ambient glow around them. It seemed like many of the LED tea light batteries were already getting weak. The red & blue flashing lights from the police cars directing traffic at the main road provided the only real visual interest to the trail. They need some lighting direction from people who know a thing or two about haunt lighting! A few strategically spaced purple and orange LED flood lights pointing up at the trees along the trail would be pure magic. And with today's lithium battery powered mini generators, it would be rather easy to pull off. We had to tweak the color on many of the below jack-o-lantern photos due to them using the LED tea lights.

We attended the annual Ontario Pathways Pumpkin Walk in Canandaigua again last night. Mrs. Haunted Eve managed to get a few pics with this October's "Hunter's Moon" in the frame. More pictures can be seen on our Flickr page here.

Canandaigua Pumpkin Walk 2018

Last night was the annual Canandaigua Pumpkin Walk. It had been a few years since we had gone and we really enjoyed it last night.

It's Pumpkin Time

26 pumpkins to carve for this year's haunt. Although we may carve a couple tomorrow night and donate them to this year's local Pumpkin Walk on Saturday.

Canandaigua Pumpkin Walk 2011

This was our second year attending the Ontario Pathways Pumpkin Walk in Canandaigua. There's something magical about walking along a dark wooded trail lined with hundreds of jack-o'-lanterns. There were so many great carvings.

Canandaigua Pumpkin Walk 2010

Last night we took a moonlight stroll along a mile long wooded path lined with 100's of jack-o'-lanterns. It was a chilly night but well worth enduring the cold night's air. We saw many excellent carvings and loved the use of wooden stepladders and wedging pumpkins between tree trunks as display techniques.
