Additional Information

The Pumpkins and Pints party at Arch in Bloom unfolds across a property already dressed for the season. Guests can browse a pumpkin patch stacked with everything from standard jack-o’-lantern varieties to warty, pale-skinned heirloom gourds, set against a backdrop of reclaimed-wood facades built up over the years into elaborate haunted-house scenes. One structure, done up as a pirate ship called “The Black Pearl,” features skeleton crew members and a hanging shark; another leads into a purple-lit tunnel past a mad-scientist tableau and into a “witch’s den” stocked with tarot cards and apothecary jars.

Beer and food service will be set up alongside the retail nursery, with live music running through the afternoon. Organizers are treating it as a family event first — the haunted elements lean more whimsical than scary — with the beer garden and adult programming layered on top for the over-21 crowd.
