Starworks Annual Glass PUMPKIN PATCH

explore North Carolina’s largest and longest running glass pumpkin patch

Saturday, September 20 | donors shop September 13


Every year, the artists at Starworks Glass create thousands of one-of-a-kind, handblown glass pumpkins in a dazzling array of colors, sizes, and styles. From classic orange gourds to elegant jewel-toned stems — and this year’s new arrivals like ghosts, bats, and witch hats — there’s something special waiting for everyone.

These pumpkins don’t just look good on your mantle — they make a difference.
All proceeds from the Glass Pumpkin Patch support educational programming and internships at Starworks throughout the year.

Join us opening day, September 20, for live glass blowing demonstrations, music, food trucks, and to meet the artists behind the pumpkins!

NO RSVP required!
