Hollowed Harvest Returns: A Jack-O’-Lantern Festival for All Ages

SPONSORED CONTENT | Written by Hollowed Harvest

Hollowed Harvest is the ultimate, all-ages celebration of Halloween centering on the art of pumpkin carving!  As Salem’s ONLY Jack-O’-Lantern Festival, we bring hundreds of  artfully-carved pumpkins to the city every year.  Returning to its location on Congress St., the Wicked Labyrinth is a winding maze packed with the ghoulish grins of colorful Jack-O’-Lanterns, some of which are brought to vivid life!

While most of the Jacks are content with keeping quiet, you’ll find quite a few have a lot to say.  Pay your respects to a dearly (and deliciously!) departed pumpkin or rock out with the Gourd Lord as he puts on a graveyard concert guaranteed to wake the dead!

This year, Madame Flim Flam, pumpkin psychic extraordinaire, is back to perform another seance that’s bound to go horribly, hilariously wrong!  Introducing her apprentice Squashua, they will be forced to combat malevolent entities and critical audience members alike.


While perusing the pumpkins, why not stop to chat with our living Jack-O’-Lantern?  He’s happy to chat and answer your questions but if you plan to create a gourd-geous masterpiece at our hands-on carving area, you might want to keep that a secret (he’s a bit sensitive).

Our hands-on carving area is your chance to take a piece of the Hollowed Harvest home!  Get guidance from a live, seasoned carver or go with your gut as you carve your own kooky creation.  There’s no rules; just good messy fun (don’t worry, we’ll take care of clean-up)!

Experience all the colorful fun of Salem’s only Jack-O’-Lantern showcase where there’s something for Halloween-lover’s of all kinds!  Go to www.HollowedHarvest.com for tickets and a complete calendar!
