Oklahoma City, September 27, 2023 – The 30,000+ pumpkins for the Gardens annual Pumpkinville arrived on Tuesday, September 26. IT’S HAPPENING! Join us from October 6–22 for our 10th annual Pumpkinville, presented by OG&E. Pumpkinville 2023 is a travel-themed festival inspired by retro postcards, highlighting landmarks, culture, and wildlife from around the world.

See the world in PUMPKINS! Take the “Pumpkinville Express” to Europe’s greatest monuments, step into Lunar New Year celebrations, safari with African wildlife, explore the Amazon Rainforest, experience colorful sugar skull pumpkins for Day of the Dead celebrations, see a pyramid of pumpkins in ancient Egypt, and so much more. Pumpkinville is made possible thanks to our sponsors: Presented by OG&E and sponsored by Delta Dental, Express Employment International, Devon Energy Corp., Tinker Federal Credit Union, Bank of Oklahoma, Midtown Renaissance, Ozarka Water and IPGI.

General admission tickets for ages 3 and above are $9/person, while members and children aged 2 and under enter for free. Become a member online to save on fees. Combo tickets are available for Pumpkinville and the Crystal Bridge Conservatory: $16 for adults (18+) and $11 for children aged 4-17. Weekday group rates offer a $1 discount per option for groups of at least 10 people. Email education@myriadgardens.org to arrange a group visit.

Pumpkinville is the Gardens' largest annual festival and a beloved fall tradition for thousands of families. Last year it was voted number one pumpkin patch by USA Today’s 10Best Readers Poll. Visitors will enjoy imaginative displays made of more than 30,000 pumpkins, gourds, haystacks, and mums. Play games, paint a pumpkin, shop local vendors, and enjoy special treats and unlimited rides on Mo’s Carousel.

Volunteers needed for PUMPKINVILLE! Get a group of friends, coworkers, or family members together and join in on the fall fun. Volunteering at Pumpkinville is a great way to get involved with the community and help Myriad Gardens with one of our largest annual fundraisers. Shifts are available now through October 22 for set up and festival, weekdays, and weekends!
