Starworks 2026 Glass PUMPKIN PATCH
explore North Carolina’s largest and longest running glass pumpkin patch
Opening day: Saturday, September 19, 9am-5pm
Every year, the artists at Starworks Glass create thousands of one-of-a-kind, hand blown glass pumpkins in a dazzling array of colors, sizes, and styles. We see everything from classic orange to elegant jewel-toned gourds and whimsical fall creations like ghosts, bats, and witch hats.
Our magical display fills Starworks exhibition gallery for a celebratory launch on Saturday, September 19, 9am-5pm. Pumpkins are available for purchase to support educational programs, and remain available through October while supplies last.
