In 1587, English colonists came to Roanoke Island. Night of 1587 Pumpkins is a new event at The Elizabethan Gardens at which we will attempt to light 1,587 jack-o-lanterns. The evening will consist of trick-or-treating, contests, and of course, pumpkins! Everyone is encouraged to come in costume to enjoy the festivities. Jack-o-lanterns are provided by event attendees, so if you visit, please bring a few carved pumpkins!
