LIVE CARVING EVENTS

DEMONSTRATIONS, ACTIVATIONS, & INSTALLATIONS

Activate your event with a demonstration by our expert carvers. Pumpkin carving is mesmerizing for crowds of all ages. While carving a beautiful display piece, or a huge installation, carvers will engage the audience, answering questions and offering tips & tricks for the crowds who attend.

We can tailor our demonstration to your event. Let us know if there is a particular theme for the event that we should try to incorporate into the pumpkin art.

Most demonstrations are between 2-6hrs. For giant pumpkins, 8hrs or more and multiple carvers can be necessary. Because of the limited number of pumpkins that can be carved on site, you can enhance your event by ordering any number of pre-carved pumpkins. This is a great way to add atmosphere, increase visibility, or to incorporate sponsor or brand logos. We typically carve within 24-36 hours of the event to ensure that our pumpkin display looks its best. 

Please Note: Maniac Pumpkin Carvers LLC is based in New York City. We are available to travel to limited engagements outside the NY Tri-State area. Weekends in October fill fast. Please book early to ensure your dates!
