The Hopewell Valley Arts Council invites the community to celebrate a decade?plus of fall fun at the 11th Annual Amazing Pumpkin Carve, returning to Woolsey Park, October 9–12, 2025. Under the glow of a big top tent, 30 massive, 150?pound pumpkins will be transformed by local artists into jaw?dropping works of art—whimsical, spooky, and everything in between. Rain or shine, visitors can stroll through the tent to see the incredible displays, making the Carve a perfect autumn outing for families, friends, and neighbors.

New this year: Guests can sip local brews in the beer garden while enjoying live music at the Woolsey Park bandshell (Friday–Sunday, weather permitting). The festival also features a hay bale play area, pumpkin painting for kids, and storytelling by the firepits, creating a full weekend of fall festivities.

THE MTM Players

Spend an Enchanted Evening (or afternoon) with The MTM Players as they whisk you away to The South Pacific with this beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein classic featuring Bali Hai, Younger Than Springtime, You Have to Be Taught, I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy, and of course Some Enchanted Evening. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, South Pacific follows two intercultural love stories: Nellie, a spunky Navy nurse from Arkansas, and Lieutenant Cable who both find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise.
