Presented by Citizens, this year’s spectacular takes visitors on a journey from the days of
ragtime and swing to rock and roll and hip hop as we celebrate the greatest music from the last
150 years. Guests can stroll, or dance their way, past thousands of intricately carved pumpkins
displayed while listening to soundtracks from the 1860’s through today.
