ALLURA Pumpkin Art Spectacular
Inaugural year ~ October 2026
The Experience
A journey of art, light and imagination
unlike anything the Pioneer Valley has seen.
What Awaits You
An Evening Unlike Any Other
This is ALLURA's inaugural year - an enchanting 15-night pumpkin art spectacular walkthrough at the Look Park Wildlife Sanctuary. Wander along a 1/8 mile path past a magical art gallery of illuminated hand-carved "forever" pumpkins featuring animals, fairies, elves, owls, dragons, friendly demons, and more. Atmospheric lighting and immersive soundscapes transform the forest into an unforgettable nighttime experience for all ages. As this is our first year, the path is shorter than in years to come. Consider making other plans locally if you are coming from a distance to stretch out your evening. Timed ticketed entry ensures smaller crowds and a more intimate journey.
A Guided Path
Follow a dimly lit trail through Look Park's Wildlife Sanctuary, past a variety of illuminated sculpted scenes. The path is fully accessible and takes 20–30 minutes at a leisurely pace.
Multiple Scenes of Hand-Carved Pumpkins
From small single pumpkins to large 8' tall scenes — every turn reveals something new. No two sculptures are alike — each is an original, hand-carved work.
Timed Entry
Tickets are timed so the path never feels crowded. You move at your own pace, linger as long as you like, and loop the path again if the mood strikes.
Food Trucks
Warm up with seasonal bites and refreshments at the concession stand. Food trucks will be on site Saturday October 24th, from 12 noon to 9PM for Look Park's Haunted Harvest.
The Story of ALLURA
How It Came to Be
It Begins with an Idea
ALLURA was born from a simple question: what if a pumpkin could be a work of art? Not a jack-o’-lantern, not a decoration — a sculpture. Something that stops you in your tracks and makes you look twice.
Months of Preparation
Every sculpture begins as a sketch. We spend months designing, refining, and carving each scene until we feel it's just right. Since we use "forever" pumpkins, the artwork should last for the entire season!
The Night Comes Alive
As darkness falls over Look Park, the path lights up. Multiple scenes of hand-carved pumpkins glow from within, casting warm amber light across the area. Each one is individually hand-carved with dremel power tools, and illuminated with LEDs. It is, by design, unlike anything you have seen before.
A New Tradition
ALLURA is more than an event — it is the beginning of an annual tradition in the Pioneer Valley. Each year the sculptures change, the path evolves, and the story grows. This is only the beginning.
The Artists
The Hands Behind the Light
Every sculpture at ALLURA is an original work. Meet the artists who bring them to life.
Peter Savigny
Lead Sculptor & Creative Director
For more than eight years, Peter has designed and created large-scale pumpkin displays for major venues across the country. He began his creative career as a diorama artist before transitioning to set design and later broadcast design in New York City, where he earned five Emmy Awards for his work in television design.
Following his relocation to the Pioneer Valley, Peter is collaborating with Look Park to present the inaugural ALLURA Pumpkin Art Spectacular, bringing together his experience creating large-scale pumpkin attractions and his lifelong passion for immersive visual storytelling.
Today, his illuminated pumpkin sculptures serve as the signature centerpieces of ALLURA. Using dremel power tools and die-grinders and different sized carving bits, Peter carves each piece by hand, creating luminous creatures that appear to emerge from within the pumpkins themselves, inspiring a sense of wonder and discovery in visitors of all ages.
The current pieces in the show took over a year to construct and carve.
Andres Boschini
Exquisite Pumpkin Art Carver
Andres brings an incredible level of focus and precision to every carving. His mastery of intricate linework and meticulous attention to detail produce stunning images that seem to come alive within the pumpkin. Each piece is carved by hand using X-acto blades and small sanding sticks, and reflects both technical skill and artistic dedication.
His high-quality work is easily recognized around the path — especially on the single female portraits in the Dia De los Muertos scene. (Which happens to fall on the last day of the show — November 1st!)
