Giant Pumpkin Arrives in Toronto as Halloween Nights of Lights & Pumpkinville Returns

Halloween Nights of Lights & Pumpkinville return to the Greater Toronto Area at CF Sherway Gardens from September 27 to November 1, featuring the arrival of a new seasonal landmark. Standing 22 feet tall and 44 feet wide, “Mini Milo” has been unveiled as the city’s largest jack-o’-lantern and the newest attraction for visitors of all ages.
In addition to Mini Milo, this year’s event introduces expanded programming and interactive features designed to enhance the guest experience:

  • Interactive Magic Wands – A new technology that allows guests to activate hidden features throughout the light show.
  • Over 15,000 hand-carved pumpkins displayed in illuminated installations.
  • 1.5 million synchronized lights creating an immersive, music-driven atmosphere.
  • The Harvest Maze – a 5,000-square-foot haunted maze included with admission.
  • Pumpkinville Fairgrounds – offering rides, midway games, seasonal treats, and daytime programming for families.
  • Dog-Friendly Dates – select evenings when guests are welcome to bring their pets.

“Mini Milo represents the scale and spirit of what we aim to deliver each year — memorable experiences that bring people together through light, art, and entertainment,” said Olivera Pavlovic, Producer at Elevated Concepts Studio. “With the introduction of new interactive elements and expanded programming, 2025 will be our most dynamic season yet.”
