Pumpkins in the Park

This isn’t your granddaddy’s trunk-or-treat. UCP of Maine’s 24th Annual Pumpkins in the Park is back bigger, brighter and more immersive than ever, transforming the Anah Shriners into a full-scale indoor Halloween carnival! Begin your adventure on Pumpkin Lane, packed with jack-o’-lanterns, classic autumn charm, trick-or-treat booths, family games and memorable photo opportunities. Then step into Spooky Alley, where blacklights, neon colors, music and fog bring an entirely different side of Halloween to life. Come in costume and expect plenty of candy, prizes, carnival games, creative experiences and surprises from local businesses and community partners. This is more than a quick trip around a parking lot. It is an entire Halloween world waiting to be explored, and it all takes place indoors, so the fun continues no matter what the Maine weather brings. Guests who prefer a calmer experience can attend our sensory-friendly hour, featuring brighter lighting and reduced sound levels. Pumpkins in the Park has been a Maine Halloween tradition for 24 years, and this year we are raising the bar. Whether your family has attended for generations or this will be your first visit, get ready for an unforgettable day of Halloween fun while supporting UCP of Maine’s work with children and adults with disabilities. A very special thank-you goes to Darling’s Kia, whose remarkable generosity and longstanding partnership have helped make this year’s expanded experience possible. Darling’s continues to show what it means to invest in Maine families! When the lights go out, the magic begins!
