or the last three Octobers the Town of Carefree has literally been enchanted. Gargantuan gourds by the dozens spring to life at the hands of Ray Villafane and his immensely talented team. Luckily for you and all those who find themselves in Arizona this October, the pumpkins will once again smile for, sneer at, and utterly delight all who see them at the ever more popular Enchanted Pumpkin Garden of 2018. The popularity of the original Enchanted Pumpkin Garden has exploded and Ray and his team have gained international acclaim. He’s carved for a president, is a Food Network Champion, and has been praised as “The Michelangelo of pumpkin carving” by none other than Martha Stewart. Villafane Studios’ one-of-a-kind exhibit will be open to the public and woven through the four acre Carefree Desert Gardens, October 19-28, 2018, from 10am – 9pm (101 Easy Street, Carefree, Az).
