Autumn at the Arboretum
This Fall Is Painted With Harvest Hues
“One of America’s Best Pumpkin Festivals”
– Fodor’s Travel
A Dallas Fall Tradition
Every autumn, the gardens come alive with one of Dallas’s most beloved seasonal traditions. More than 100,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash fill the garden and this year, the Pumpkin Village embraces the theme Harvest Hues, reimagined through the lens of modern and contemporary artists including Basquiat, Rothko, Bourgeois, Mondrian, Escher, and Pollock.
Autumn Highlights
Harvest Hues
The Pumpkin Village returns to the garden with a new theme each year, and this year it’s home to Harvest Hues. Six Pumpkin Houses translate the signature styles of modern and contemporary artists into pumpkins, gourds, squash, and harvest materials. Inspiration includes Mondrian’s primary color blocking rebuilt block by block in pumpkins, a towering, spindly spider inspired by Bourgeois perched atop its own house, and Pollock’s controlled chaos interpreted through the many shapes, sizes, and colors of gourds.
