4,000 glowing jack-o’-lanterns are on display at the Utah State Fairpark for the mostly-not-scary Pumpkin Nights

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Luminous Fire dancer performs at Pumpkin Nights at the Utah State Fairgrounds, Sunday, October 29, 2017.

Pumpkin Nights’ Salt Lake City debut was an impressive display of carved gourds, entertainment and sites just spooky enough to cause intrigue and not fright.

Artists from around Utah contributed to the 4,000 carved synthetic and fresh pumpkins displayed throughout the Utah State Fairpark.

The event was successful enough that organizers extended it to Oct. 30, according to the Pumpkin Nights website.

Pumpkin Nights was started in Minnesota last year as a more family-oriented option for Halloween fun.
