Stoddard Avenue
Pumpkin Glow
The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow is located behind the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Dayton's Grafton Hill
neighborhood. The Glow is a FREE event for all that attend. This is made possible by our generous sponsors from community
businesses to donations from neighbors. Thousands of people come from all over to see the carved pumpkins and enjoy in the festivities provided by the community and local businesses.
It attracts thousands of people who view individually carved jack-o-lanterns.
The Glow will take place on:
Monday, October 28th & Tuesday, October 29th, 2024
6pm to 10pm

Help Bring it to Life!
The event currently has over 20 committee members lead by David Moyer from Keller Williams Advisors. All committee members are volunteers and donate their time every year to ensure the Glow continues. There are over 500 volunteers that help the week before the Glow with gutting, carving and setting up the event. It takes a lot of people to carve and set-up 1,000 pumpkins.
Many volunteers are needed to prepare for this October event. Please join us and be a part of the fun! No experience necessary! Numerous volunteer activities are available, including...
