Fall-O-Ween is in Full Swing
Through October 27
October at NYBG is surreal! All month long, you'll feel like you're stepping into your favorite fall film, spooky story, or autumn
rom-com. The scene is set with colorful fall leaves, bright pumpkins, and festive decor—all it needs is a protagonist (hint: you)
to bring it to life! The adventure continues both day and night—watch Adam Bierton carve his jack-o'-lantern masterpieces, root
for your favorite artist during our Pumpkin Carving Face-Off, or meet botanical beasts and the farmers that created them during
our weekends of giant pumpkins.
All that—and more—awaits you. Jump in!
