Pumpkin Carving & Decorating Pizza Party
Rain Date: Sunday October 31st, 3pm
Grab your camera! Grab a pumpkin! Grab some tools! It's a pumpkin carving pizza party! We're celebrating the season in person and you and your family are invited.
Bring your own pumpkin and carving supplies to Auburndale Cove on the Charles River along with a chair. Decorative items will be available including goofy eyes, yarn, pom poms, magic markers, and battery-operated candles to take home.
Once the pumpkins are carved, we'll set them up for a photo shoot. The light will be low, so you'll probably want a tripod to help capture the spooky scene in all its glory. Plenty of people will be around to help out with long exposure settings or the best apps to use on your phone to capture a twilight scene.
Check out the tips below for how to carve a pumpkin, where to find patterns, and how best to take lit pumpkin photos.
